By democracy, you surely mean free and fair elections. Right?


Yes


What if the majority votes against your favoured form of governance, Socialism?

Then we cannot have it.

Since so far we have completely failed to convince almost anybody we have a long way to go.

I am tempted to say, in fact I will, global warming is likely to cause such chaos, in which the rich will look after themselves and the poor will starve and possibly invade rich countries, that the chances for:

"making the means of production, distribution and exchange more democratic."

a bit slim.

In the end democracy is the essential, how far can we use to organise a fairer world?
