Washington Examiner Editorial Director Hugo Gurdon said that socialism doesn’t work, arguing people try to make it sound “friendly” by adding “democratic” before it. 

“The truth is the word ‘democratic’ is like a spoonful of sugar to make the medicine of socialism go down,” Gurdon said on Fox News’s The Will Cain Show Wednesday. “The words ‘democratic’ there are concealing a system which actually forces things on people.”
