Tocqueville: sobre a erosão do solo social e político democrático

Tocqueville considers that authoritarian forms fo government can find support among citizen in “democratic times”. He argues that the erosin of social and political conditions is not the result of external oppressive action, but something that cuts across social and political relations. Maintaining formally, or in appearance, certais conditions of equality and freedom, wich are in line eith the interests of individuals, democracy itself can open space for the emergence of various forms of inequality and oppression. Based on the author, we propose to discuss this phenomenon that tends to give rise to violating social and political forms emerging from within democracia itself.
