In Marxism, it the state that is given importance and people are given the same things. The state controls every aspect of society. In socialism, the state provides and dictates how the economy is run though there are times when there is some capitalist economy mixed in. It is regulated by the government. In democracy, though there is a strong federal government but it prioritizes the rights of the people. In capitalism, there is free competition and people have the right to accumulate wealth.
