Socialism is of course democratic. When people say "socialism is bad" what they mean is Socialism is good, and they're thinking about Communism, which is actually also good but has never really been implemented properly.
Communism could not be implemented properly, without first moving through socialism, that is, worker control and collective ownership of their productive workplace, but all over the world. A radical social transformation, international in scope, in which we can begin to assess human need and begin to distribute based on it, democratic from top to bottom.
But the ruling class won't just give over control it has to be taken, with collective power.
