Democracy is about selecting the people who will govern (it can be about selecting the laws as well, as California's "Propositions" demonstrate), not about who owns what. It is entirely possible that the Soviet Union could have been a communist democracy, as strange and unlikely as that may sound, if things had gone differently.
So, no, Democracy does not match that description. The main alternitive to socialism and communism is capitalism, not democracy.
