Radical Democracy: Difference between revisions

Help

'''Radical Democracy''' ('''RadDem''') is a civically variable (mostly [[File:Libunity-yellow.png]] [[LibUnity|Libertarian]]) but always democratic, extremely [[File:Prgess.png]] [[:Category:Culturally Left|culturally progressive]], and economically variable (mostly [[File:leftunity.png]] [[LeftUnity|Left Wing]]) ideology of the political compass. RadDem believes that the goal of democracy is to radically expand and extend all civil liberties. He also believes that democracy is a never-ending, perpetually unfinished process. It wants to pick up where the project of [[File:Liberal Democracy.png]] [[Liberalism|Liberal Representative Democracy]] left off, seeking to create more direct forms of political involvement that prioritize valuing disagreement and deliberation

 

 

As a distinct ideology Radical democracy was born in 1985 with the book "Hegemony and Socialist Strategy: Towards a Radical Democratic Politics". The system was always really close to [[File:PostMarxism.png]] post-marxism, especially in its autonomist strand, and because of that it is used as a framework by some socialist movements across the world. It was adopted by both [[File:Zapa.png]] [[Neozapatismo]] and [[File:Demcon.png]] [[Democratic Confederalism]] with them being the only examples of the ideology in real life.

 

 

The most notorious strand of radical democracy is the Agonistic one which seeks to expand democracy in equality and liberty.

Another important part of the ideology is the idea that by building democracy around difference and dissent, oppressive power relations existing in societies are able to come to the forefront so that they can be challenged.

 

 

The substance of the ideology resides in the precise actions of people coming together and deliberating on the best possible solution. This type of radical democracy is in contrast with the agonistic perspective based on consensus and communicative means: there is a reflexive critical process of coming to the best solution.

 

 

It differs from the other two variants in the exaltation of the group and in fact, it is associated with socialist theory.

This strand of radical democracy challenges the traditional thinking about equality and freedom in liberal democracies by stating that individual equality can be found in the singularities within the multitude, equality overall is created by an inclusive multitude and freedom is created by restoring the multitude in its pure power.

 

 

Radical Democracy is very passionate about voting and will get angry if they see an apolitical ball. He can be often seen hanging out with [[File:Neomarx.png]] [[Neo-Marxism]] [[File:PostMarxism.png]] and Post-Marxism
