Yes democracy is an enabler, not a provider. But you have to come down to earth from those 60000 feet view. So who defines what are those and implements them as what should be at the ground level. Democracy in not set in stone and it has to evolve as per people demand. Communism and other forms of totalitarian systems are like a heart attack whereas democracy as practiced now in most parts of the world is like a slow spreading cancer. In several countries democracy is slowly becoming aristocracy and/or autocracy. For example, US had one of the best constitutions but it is being trampled left and right by the power hungry elites. Only time will tell how these democratic systems will sustain. Democracy is a system with three independent powers: Executive, legislative and judiciary. There's nothing to do with an egalitarian distributive system.
