Politiranny: Tyranny Dressed as Democracy
Naming things gives them power. That’s why I use the term politiranny to describe the essence of the current system: a political tyranny legitimized by democratic rituals. We believe that by voting we exercise power, when in fact, we are giving it away.
Democracy, far from being salvation, turns out to be an illusion. A carefully staged theater where the roles are already defined, and the outcome, one way or another, always benefits the same people.
Camouflaged Fascism
Another chapter comes to a conclusion that’s as harsh as it is necessary: what we call liberal democracy today is nothing more than camouflaged fascism. Not fascism with banners and colored shirts, but something much more effective: bureaucratic, regulatory, technological. A fascism that doesn’t need explicit violence, because it has achieved something much more powerful: voluntary obedience.
Freedom… for What?
In the face of this, a key question arises: Freedom, for what? The answer is simple and radical at the same time: because without freedom, we are not fully human. Because accepting slavery—even a comfortable one—means renouncing our dignity.
