Uh.... I am hard pressed to find a country where democracy has come to power without war or corruption. Sometimes it was because, but never without, right?

Fair point, I can't think of an example where it has done so. How about my favorite quote instead:
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
Winston Churchill
A very one-sided view. Capitalism also shares the miseries extremely unequal.
The second part is also not true - at least not in those countries that said they were socialistic.
A lot of things were shared equally there - like a good, free healthcare.
But the Big Bosses always has a it more Equality from everything good and nothing from the bad.
