They’re conveniently ignoring the forced labor part of socialism.

When you no longer have to work to feed or clothe yourself, and working harder doesn’t give you any material benefit because the government-provided rations stay the same no matter how hard you work, what happens next?

People get lazy.

They figure why even bother? So they decide to let everyone else work for them while they loaf around and collect rations. As more and more people do this, the ones still working have to carry a greater and greater load to support the loafers. Those people eventually get fed up and decide to become loafers themselves.

Once enough people drop out, the machinery of society starts to break down. People see this and start to get fed up with the socialist politicians in charge. The socialist politicians see these revolts and get nervous. They HAVE to get the machinery of society running again. That’s when they come in with guns and tell the loafers they all must get back to work or be shot. Now the workers are all forced to work at gunpoint for no pay.

And socialism plays out like this every time, no mater what the era, what the nationality, what the resources, what the culture. That’s your “socialist democracy of workers” for you. A gun in your face and a forced job assignment from a faceless bureaucrat.
