I thought democracy ideology lead people to better live.

I think it's more valuable as a way of preserving peace in a society. By giving the power to the people, the people can choose (either directly or indirectly) how their country is run, so it's harder for one person to gain absolute power, and the people are also happier because they feel their voice matters. Like Winston Churchill has been said to put it: "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others." Democracy is a real nightmare, but I can't imagine a system that would realistically be any better.
