Based on your description of democracy I can't help but wonder what country you are discussing? You are definitely not talking about the United States. We live under a corrupt fascist oligarchy whose primary objective is constant war. Our media is populated by members of the security services. Our internet is censored. Members of congress are not permitted to write bills or offer amendments. Democracy requires free speech above all.
What is a "democratic decision making process?" Is that where we are permitted to send preprinted ballots through the mail to confirm a preselected member of the ruling class who will thenceforth make economic decisions on our behalf? Because if you think that is somehow democratic, then we have different definitions.
The free market allows people to make decisions for themselves. Everyone gets a vote at runtime. That is the only democratic decision making process I know of.
There is no "democratic process" in collectivism. Economic decisions are taken by members of the ruling class, the uneducated few, who will not suffer, and for reasons of religious zeal (climate change) or political maneuvering (destroy Russia). One only has to look at the disastrous effects of economic decisions made by ignorant EU bureaucrats that are already leading to widespread poverty and loss of basic human rights. That doesn't happen under a free market.
