No offense again, but you're thinking at the below 101-level par typical of indoctrinated Marxists (who always claim - sincerely or not - to know little of Marxism, but are in fact indoctrinated by it indirectly through 20th Century liberalism, feminism and Critical Theory which permeates popular culture).
Democracy, ah yes. Democracy. Do you not realize that democracy is a political category? It theoretically enables citizens to have a say in policies which directly effect their interests (the common good).
Societal structures, on the other hand, were never and can never be democratically created. They come about organically. That goes for everything from the great works of art and architecture to the very institutions of law, government, higher learning, industry and commerce.
Bad or corrupt men did not create these wonders. The devil simply cannot create - it can only steal, possess, manipulate that which already exists. Evil takes possession of our great institutions through the corruption of the human heart (the corruption of the powerful and the passivity/vanity/gullibility of the unconscious masses). This is why the individual is considered sacred - because only the individual can conquer his own weakness and unconsciousness of its own will, desire, accord. Wholesome nurturing and education is all about that - creating individuals who stand on their own feet with all 5, plus the 6th senses responsibly engaged.
Socialism, as we can see all around us today and going back to post-Romantic psychosis in the 19th c., is less about nurturing individual senses/intelligence/personal responsibility, and more about indoctrination towards collectivism and ideology.
If we want to help the world, we have to first be the conscious and responsible individual, and then responsibly use our engaged senses towards truth and justice (which goes towards restoring the health of our institutions, not destroying; which goes towards re-balancing of power, not inverting power; which goes towards individual liberty, not collectivist slavery ; which goes towards excellence, not 'inclusive' mediocrity and delusion).
