Every society is "democratic" in the sense that the people with the power and desire to rule are the ones who make the rules. Of course, a person without a gun has less power than a person with a gun, and a person with a fighter jet is more powerful still. So, if by "democratic" you mean all individuals having an equal voice, then I would say that fascism is by no means a demonstration of democracy working. Of course, if a significantly large and powerful group of people in a democratic society want to switch to fascism, it will almost certainly happen, and I guess the morality of fascism is another argument altogether.
