A major difference between [[democracy]] and [[socialism]] is the [[free market]] principle which allows buyers and sellers to agree on price without government interference.

[[Marxist]] countries have created socialism which transcends mere economics by combining a political [[despotism]] which enforces [[atheism]]. <ref>http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Socialism.html</ref>
