Yes.

That answer is only for my own country America, I do not have strong opinions for other areas and countries.

And I realize the term is broad, and gives connotations I do not intend.

A socialist movement that is backed by force, and not using democratic methods, would save far more lives than it would destroy.

Americans do not understand democracy because they do not understand, at a fundamental level, that ballot counts need to be witnessed and recounts always allowed.

They cannot be taught that. This removes reform by democracy.

But when reform is imposed on by force there are many who would disagree . So the revolution would need to defend itself. That means time and time again, this would happen repeatedly. And the cost would be horrible.

Of course my preferred solution would raise new problems, and a rise of a new elite would have to countered, and history shows that is hard. But I think because tens of millions of Americans will die if this revolution not happen, then it’s worth it
