Dmocracy means rule of people, but what if...

Democracy is rule of people. However, when people do not want to rule and delegate this function to some class of other people, how can we consider such people's will? For example, when people choose monarchy or communist monopoly or even power of terrorists and then most of them fully support the regimes choosen, are these decisions considered democratic or not? And if they are, is that democracy or authocracy?
