Hatred of Democracy

Rancière's writings are one of the rare meaningful conceptualizations that show how we can continue to resist in today's world where the left has lost its direction. Now all this is in the past, while some governments are exporting democracy by force of arms, the intellectuals of the new order in the West are competing among themselves to expose the harmful manifestations of democratic individualism and egalitarianism in every part of public and private life. They claim that it has led humanity to suicide. To understand this ideological transformation, it is not enough to consider it within the global management of wealth. Since ancient times, those who see themselves as naturally entitled to rule the people have been horrified by the idea of "government of the people". Jacques Rancière, democracy, politics, republic. While examining the complex relationship between social media and representation, it shows the sources of today's rising hatred of democracy. It reminds us of the power of the idea of democracy to disrupt the peace and confusion of those who see it as their natural right to rule over others. "Will my vote and the shepherd's vote be equal?" It shows the sources of the fear and hatred of democracy that makes us ask the question.
