that would be a representative government my bad. when I said " do things2 , i don't mean just make laws , i mean do things as in providing services like healthcare, education, housing and suchlike for it's citizens.
We had an elected guvvermint in Queen Victorias day, but it did not get into Socialism. well, it did , but called it the 'Royal Mail.'
as for central planning - well, like i said, most govrnments have some . it can work in certain areas , and you would be hard put to find a country where the State relies totally on the Private Sector to do eveeryhing. Even in the US of A, you get 'public schools' and you mean they are publicly funed thru' taxation.
But yes, I agree that some societies are more socialistic than others and real Socialists wan to see more, not less State control and State ownership.
