You can absolutely have a democracy of unemployed people. This basically just describes a solar punk utopia.
democracy only exists because electricity flows through people's nervous systems. work is the major factor that makes people do that. creativity is not nearly enough.
a society of unemployed people is called a fascist society ... making choices based on what people want and vote for, not based on what's reasonable/rational.
