I won't say that socialism is better than western democracy. Let me talk about what western democracy is all about.
1, origin: the so-called western democracy originated from the city-state democracy in Athens, Greece. This city-state democracy was initially limited to white men, and women and children were not included in the foreign population. So democracy and poison dishes were born. In case of war, the Senate will command the right to fight by electing a poisonous vegetable. Democracy and poisonous vegetables are not antagonistic, but born of * * *.
2. Methods: Before 1960, this so-called democracy in the West was actually a lottery democracy, that is to say, it was not a one-person-one-vote system at all, but a lottery for everyone. At that time, it was limited to dozens or hundreds of people, and the number was very small. Let's draw lots together in the future. When dozens or hundreds of such groups draw lots for democracy, problems will arise when they are expanded to millions, tens or even hundreds of millions of people. It is impossible to cope with all kinds of situations and it is unrealistic to draw lots. Then there is the electoral democracy of one person, one vote.
Within a certain range, for example, choose one person from 1000 people as a representative to vote on behalf of their own group and exercise their voting rights. The concept of electoral votes was later derived from this. In essence, whether you choose one person, one vote, or a thousand people to choose a representative, you choose one person to manage yourself. The essence cannot be changed, so where is democracy?
3. Nature: Only one representative is elected under the one-person-one-vote system. Electing representatives and electing leaders are two concepts. Leaders always need management ability, leadership ability, overall situation ability, management decision-making ability and so on. If you are elected by the one-person-one-vote system, you will find that you vote, others vote, one thousand people choose a representative, and this representative only votes for your group of one thousand people, and then countless groups vote for one thousand people, and finally a president is elected. This president ... think about it, is he a leader or just a representative?
He is just a representative.
What's this called? Representative theory. When the representative theory was first born, it had nothing to do with democracy, but after 1960, it was gradually tied up with electoral democracy and stereotyped.
4. change. After 1960, political scientists in Europe and America gradually discovered that their so-called electoral democracy was full of loopholes, and the more they studied it, the more pills they felt. In addition, social contradictions are getting more and more serious, and the old political party controls power, so it is difficult for the new party to rise, so in order to change the status quo. As soon as the new party was born, it began to shout a slogan: change.
Take a closer look at the debate between Trump and Hillary. Hillary represents the image of an established political party, while Trump represents an emerging image. He said "change" many times. And more people will shout this slogan in the future.
China's socialism is practical, not empty talk. There is only one party that can talk, not so much a moth to the fire. Leadership depends on ability, not just being a representative of decoration.
As for who is superior and who is inferior, you can judge for yourself.
