What does that have to do with anything? Socialism is a economic system not a political one. They are all democracies, and in fact, many of those countries enjoy a greater degree of civil liberty than we do.

As MontyB said, not exactly the best examples you want to use, despite the aire of nobility in their cause they were both savages.
The real characters were not the romantic characters Charlton Heston and Mel Gibson played. Ghangis Khan was more gentle, as he at least gave his enemies a chance to surrender. Spartacus massacred every Roman he got his hands on civilian and military alike, and Wallace was so brutal after Falkirk he made a belt out of human skin from the English Commander.
