Logically flawed.

"Because capitalism does not have a social component."

The same is true about socialism in its strict form: one allows for individual property rights to private goods, and another for government's rights.

Democracy refers to the process of selection of a government.

"functions in the economic sphere,"

Also problematic: one speaks of a legal environment of an economy, not the other way around.

The common definition of socialism involves a controlling
central government without individual rights(that is my definition).

Can you name one dictatorship that allows free market
capitalism? Socialist countries control more than the
means of production: for example, Sweden and Denmark.
