It's not deep because it's a lexical semantic failure. Democracy and socialism have much more in common than just the word equality or even the notion of equality. The quote first constructs a false premise only for the purpose of sounding clever later... and then fails to sound clever.

I didn't claim to know that I know more about democracy and socialism than Alexis de Tocqueville... I only pointed out my objection to that particular quote.
Are you defending the idea that the only thing in common between democracy and socialism is the word equality?
