Just yesterday, the official discourse contrasted the virtues of democracy with the horror of totalitarianism, while the revolutionaries denounced the superficial appearances in the name of a true democracy that was supposed to come. That era has now passed.
While certain governments engage in the export of democracy through the force of arms, our intelligentsia does not cease to detect, in all facets of public and private life, the fatal symptoms of 'democratic individualism' and the torrent of egalitarianism that destroy collective values, forge a new totalitarianism, and lead humanity to suicide.
To understand this ideological mutation, it is not enough to inscribe it in the present of global governance of wealth. We must navigate back to the primordial scandal represented by 'the governance of the people' and grasp the intricate ties among democracy, politics, stateless polity, and representation.
Thus, it is possible to rediscover, behind the tepid loves of the past and the envious outbursts of the present, the always new and always threatened subversive power of the idea of democracy.
