註釋The democracy of the late 20th century has been more beneficial to the friends of commerce than to the democrats. Its advantages and successes have turned it into a political regime that is now anachronistic and untimely. Democracy is the name inherited from a past imperfect and recent, which used to manage our way of life. Today, that life of ours is managed by commerce and the friends of commerce. If politics is the organization of power, that is to say, the administration of freedom, the rights of the democratic citizen are moving away from the legal framework of the States. With the historical failure of democracy in the 21st century, three realities with which humans have lived since the Renaissance also fail: the modern State, political freedom, and civil laws. A post-democratic society is one in which the State fades away, political freedom disintegrates, and civil laws fit onto a complaint form, because the rights of the citizen are the rights of the consumer, in the hands of the friends of commerce, which is to say, nothing. People have not yet internalized the failure of democracy. The market does not want democrats; it wants consumers.
