Communist or Democratic Ideas.

One idea is never enough. Many ideas make us stronger. I once heard an analyst say he thought that was the reason the communist bloc fell at the end of the 20th Century. Communism created a system based primarily on only one idea. If anyone tried to do things a different way, they were knocked down or shipped out.
In contrast, democracy is a system based on multitude of ideas. If people want to try something different, they have the chance to float their idea and see what happens. If it catches on, it makes forward. If not, it is replaced by another idea. Because of that freedom, in democratic countries creativity is high, opportunities are unlimited, and the potential for growth is astounding.
The democratic system can be messy, but that is also true of any endeavour that's creative and collaborative.
