If any of you are interested...this topic was went into much better depth @ www.anti-state.com.

The question is simply based off of a quote by Winston Churchill. Because the quote is from a famous politician the automatic answer is false. That was the logic that went into it.

In pure democracy (which doesn't exist) you have the potential to have even less rights than socialism or facism (it's simply up the voters).

However, when i saw democracy i automatically thought of the US system (dumb, i know) and assumed that was the definition being used. If that was the case, then "democracy" gives you more rights than socialism or facism (you can own property, for example).

I don't think the question can be answered correctly unless you're using the pure democracy definition or if you knew the question was just a Churchill quote. So if you include one of those..then the question can stay.
