A democracia direta é realmente possível? - Echanges et Mouvement

Texto que analisa a democracia (direta e indireta), criticando-a sob o aspecto concreto, prático. Procura mostrar que rituais democráticos de qualquer tipo se baseiam numa ficção que superestima a teoria e a consciência. Imagina-se que a suspensão da práxis durante cerimônias de debate e votação permitiria transformar a sociedade, enquanto na prática elas são condenadas, não a transformar, mas a reproduzir as relações sociais de exploração e desigualdade, sendo verdadeiras técnicas de mediação/integração capitalista.
