Democracy has co-existed with economic systems: Socialism, Social democracy and Capitalism. Democracy does not work with a totalitarian one party form of government: Communism or Fascism. Under a democracy political leaders are elected into power by the vote of the citizens that are eligible to vote. 
The thread title was obviously supposed to read: "Are Capitalism and economic equality incompatible?" The obvious answer would be yes and Google would reveal a more detailed and precise answer. It is a rookie mistake to assume Democracy = Capitalism and interchanging Democracy for Capitalism proves the Op mixed up the two terms.
