"Karl Marx said, 'Democracy is the road to socialism,' " Norton said. A true democracy, he said, relies solely on majority rule and inevitably devolves into anarchy, which then sprouts socialist dictators.Waaaaaaaaait...what? In what universe does that follow? On what are you basing this? That progression is completely made up, but it has the dreaded S-word in it, so you have to pay attention. I imagine a boardroom table full of capitalists voting on whether or not to acquire another company. The vote is a tie and everyone abruptly resigns their spot on the board and begins running around the room aimlessly until one old man fires a pistol in the air and says "All right! Everyone sit down! We're not going to buy the compnay, we're going to share with them!"
If you thought that was stupid, you are right. The whole thing is very, very stupid.

Unfortunately, a single short media article with a couple sound bytes cannot describe the complete story. It's much more involved. If you want the whole picture, please check it out here. It's not just the term democracy, but the individual behind it who says the state has a right to your children and that morality is democratic (determined by a vote)
