- rahoulb 13y agoDepends upon your definition of democracy. Even in our "western" democracy, the right to vote is limited (whether age, residency, prisoner-status etc). In the USSR, only members of the Soviets (worker's councils) could vote, as the Soviets represented the people. In ancient Athenian democracy, only male citizens could vote. According to Plato, that was too wide-spread and only philosophers should vote, as they were the only people wise enough to make serious decisions. But all of those forms fall under the name "democracy" - it just depends who you define as "the people".
