You have to define "works". Democracy does "work". The fact that your sitting at home able to criticize it is proof of that. It works to give people a reasonable defense against brutality/oppression in most situations (unless of course your a minority part of the population subject to majority tyranny in a state without baseline citizen rights laws).

Marxism "works" to... but only for the guy at the top... Castro, Jong-il, and Chavez... that reap the benefit while everyone else a glorified slave.
