no. democracy is inherently socialistic because it implies that the state can tax, regulate and redistribute according to the will of the majority. it might be constrained by constitutions or charters but that's the ultimate underlying tendency.

Our positions are not mutually exclusive. In saying that capitalism is more efficient than democracy, I meant that it is more efficient in allowing people to receive what they "vote" for, since they can vote with their wallet or their feet and immediately get their desired outcome, unlike in democracy in which they must wait 4 years and hope that a plurality of complete strangers agrees with them before they can potentially receive a watered-down version of their desired product. I of course agree with you that political democracy is a collectivist scheme.
