Yes but democracy sounds better, it has a nice egalitarian ring to it. It's one of those glittering generalities that make good propaganda.

US politicians like to use the word democracy too. Even though the US was never intended to be a democracy. Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison... they all hated democracy. They wanted a constitutional republic but you never hear anyone call it that anymore.
