Is real Democracy a Socialist system?

I was wondering what you guys think about Democracy.

I mean according to Marx there were effectively three classes of society before the French Revolution of 1789, tore down the Bastille, with the slogan of Liberty, Egality and Fraternity and removed the monarchy.

Since then the remaining two classes have been the merchants and the workers.

Democracy means that all free men and women decide on their government's decisions and how it is run by giving them a vote. What we are seeing in today's Imperialistic age is the merchant class run amok by effectively hijacking the US government to further its profits and to initiate continuous war.

My question do we simply assume that we live in a democratic society and we should abolish capitalism in favour of Socialism?
OR
Would a Socialist market place become the norm once Democracy is established?

I would be interested in your opinions on this issue.
