Democracy is a form of government. The form that dominates our days. This is certainly common knowledge. Whether it is a reigning democracy, or presidential or presidential. Whether it is liberal or socialist, or any other type that may have existed or is about to exist, it carries with it a basic property. That within this pot of government the plant of the State will grow. The pot and its soil will shape the growing plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the so-called \u201cWest\u201d, the ubiquitous centers of power, think tanks, parties, governments, mechanisms of justice and of influencing public opinion, have been working for many decades to promote democracy, eliminating every other form of government from our lives, as leniently useless or even \u201cdiabolical\u201d. This, of course, as a central idea, constitutes a contradiction for the core democratic ideology, which \u2013supposedly\u2013 is based on the free choice of citizens and not on the prohibition of choices. But in this text we will not be concerned with the legitimization of democracy but with the form of the State it produces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, we do not need to philosophize or theorize. The State of Democracy has been around for too many years so that it is only necessary to make observations on its work and its influence on our societies. Initially, let us look at the issue in the general context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a State for modern societies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And by modern we necessarily refer to those of the last two centuries, since most of you have lived in the 20th century but we also live in the 21st century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some significant leaders and historical figures, regardless of whether they cover us politically, have defined the State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how the Bolshevik leader saw the State:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The State is an instrument in the hands of the ruling class, whose purpose is to combat the resistance of those who are opposed to this class. Joseph Stalin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lenin’s opinion is interesting, since the left today is considered the progressive and pro-people political group. But the opinion of a Western economist is also revealing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Representative democracy cannot exist if a significant part of the voters is paid by the state. Ludwig von Mises<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Von Mises may not be well known to everyone, but he is an emblematic figure of liberal economic theory, as it was formed from the middle of the 20th century onwards. But the sayings of leaders and scientists are good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what does the State mean for the citizen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the person who experiences life in the real fields and not in halls of power, who struggles for food on the table and a decent living? In other words, what does the State mean for the vast majority of people?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am sure that you will agree with me that it means three and only three simple and basic things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
