I do not think the US can be held up as a good example of democracy.
Just a place where you have the right to be sold everything you could ever imagine.
The recent example of the Cuban boy whose mother drowned attempting to become an illegal immigrant is just one example.
The more interesting issue here is surely the support (and not) given by the (for example) Soviet government at different times to various artists.
To describe anything post-Lenin as socialist is ridiculous. Like calling Reagan a bad actor when he convinced so many people to vote for him.
