Socialism is not a replacement for democracy; it's a replacement for capitalism.

If you read the comments before mine you would see that the user I replied to was arguing Scandinavian Healthcare "isn't socialism" before linking to a video prpduced by "Marxist Student Federation".

I am the one arguing Socialism and Democracy are not mutually exclusive. Did you miss the reply button for someone else?

You sound offended that I replied to you. If what I said is not in contradiction of what you said; why are you coming at me?

You indeed said something similar to what I said, although a bit further from the topic at hand, quite so, and I also replied to what you said by rehashing what was said before that, yes. Do you have issue with constant rehashing of what has been said? Why are you getting angry?

At no point in the entire video did she say anything about ending democracy in Sweden. She was talking solely about the economic systems of socialism and capitalism.

Edit: in fact her only mention of the Democratic system was the fact that the capitalist conservatives have completely captured their government. And that is what she was referring to when she talks about a socialist revolution. She's talking about voting the bastards out.
