Reason on the disposition of tropical peoples to support
Socialism
--- Quote ---
> Mary W. Williams (1930) paid attention to the impact of
tropical climate on human beings in Latin America. She said that
climate “has been far more influential upon the history of Latin
America than any other part of physiography.” The tropics is “a
region of climatic monotony encouraging listlessness and lack of
ambition, which are also fostered by nature’s generosity,
especially in the matter of food supply.” She continued that the
tropics contribute to nervousness and lack of self-control and
that in comparison with the temperate zones, “in these regions
human actions are likely to be dominated more by emotion and
less by reason.” Tropical and subtropical regions are also
infested with diseases unfriendly to man (pp. 14-15). Her
arguments on the impact of climate reflect Montesquieu’s ideas.
It may be that because of the tropical climate it is not
realistic to expect the quality of democracy to rise in Latin
America and other tropical countries to the same level as in the
countries of the temperate zone.

Therefore, the Western people (and "New China") who live in
Colder Temperate Zones hardly to be socialist, therefore they
deserve more authoritarian rule to make socialism be
implemented. That's the reason on incompatibility of democratic
method to achieve socialism in the West and "New China"

Indeed, this line from the passage you quoted:
--- Quote ---
> “a region of climatic monotony encouraging listlessness and
lack of ambition, which are also fostered by nature’s
generosity, especially in the matter of food supply.”

is an accurate description of:

Result of Democracy
--- Quote ---
> The quality of democracy seems to be approximately similar,
with local variations in details, in nearly all other European
and European offshoot democracies. This group of high-quality
democracies includes at least Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Latvia, Malta, New Zealand, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Sweden, and the United States. Various shortages in
the quality of democracy are related to the discrimination and
underrepresentation of the Roma people, especially in Slovakia;
to the unequal position of noncitizen Russians in Estonia and
Latvia; to problems with large non-European immigrant groups,
especially in Belgium, France, Germany, and Sweden; to the
position of indigenous Maori people in New Zealand; and to the
position of blacks and millions of illegal immigrant workers in
the United States.
