Dictatorships and Popular Power
In the last century, dictatorships (both
fascist and communist) emerged, based on the idea that elective democracies did
not truly reflect the will of the people, viewing them as a collection of
particular interests ("a deaf and grey chamber") or as a bourgeois deception.
Dictatorships, therefore, do not contradict the principle of popular power but
present themselves as the true interpreters of the people's will (whether of the
nation or the proletariat).
It seems to me that when we say certain opinions are acceptable while others are
not (as in the case of the Woke movement), we ultimately adopt the same
perspective as dictatorships.
