The statements by the leaders of the Concertación, which claim to have solved openness to greater participation Denote the elitism rooted in organizations supposedly promoting equality.
There is nothing more elitist than say we have solved open more opportunities for participation.
In that sentence, it is implied that the debate and decisions continue to be an exclusive area, controlled by a few leaders, who will, open or close the entrance to the field political context as needed. The iron law of oligarchy , Is made manifest.
The irony is that this elitism occurs in organizations that allegedly claiming more equality, participation and pluralism.
However, although most of the leaders and their fiercest supporters deny that elitism in these organizations, in practice they involve an alleged elitist who can not escape ever believe that most citizens are unable to "know their real interests." What is camouflaged with the idea of \u200b\u200bowning moral awareness, revolutionary, popular, altruism, commitment, sacrifice service or , and much more.
So, although most of the leaders posed trust people constantly appealing entelechies collective, always consider that only they-and their crony know the real needs of the rest and therefore the only ones eligible to contribute to political and public debate. Only they and their representatives may be near. pure elitism.
Under this logic the only policy option is to give citizens the coming-to-vote and then meet their primary duty to obey.
It's no wonder that even organizations that call for participation and equality, systematically denied citizens the right to decide on various issues. Examples of this are many.
The irony of this logic is that when elitism is more stuck in an organization and begins to undermine his power, are the very elites that call finish towards pluralism. A clear sign that the elitism phagocytosed legitimacy of the elites themselves.
The problem is that elitism is consistently reproduced by the citizens, which inevitably results in a sort of generalized and dogmatic faithful to certain leaders, extremely harmful to developing a political debate and publicly open and plural. That is, for democracy.
So while some people proclaim their opposition to authoritarianism and elitism in certain subjects or areas, do not skimp on defending the piece, almost in an authoritarian-elitism and almost monarchical institutionalized their favorite leaders.
words, while claiming a critical attitude toward power, based on a forward-thinking course, pluralistic and democratic rule out a priori, in a dogmatic way, any criticism of their leaders, its cliques, its paradigms and organizations . Especially if they are in power. Equal elitism.
Moreover, many proclaimed progressive and egalitarian, without even having any share of power or being part of the clique, think they have the power to discern a priori, without discussion with, what ideas are or not, contribute to public debate.
Nothing more elitist and conservative than that.
