Um die Demokratie ist es schlecht bestellt. Nicht nur global, auch in Deutschland. Eine autoritär auftretende Linke verspielt die Errungenschaften, die sie selbst erkämpft hat; eine autoritäre Rechte möchte eine zweifelhafte Vergangenheit wiederaufleben lassen. Und beide Gruppierungen schließen Allianzen mit einem erstarkenden Islamismus, der von Parallelgesellschaften heraus in Schulen und Universitäten vordringt. Die wichtigste Frage der Gegenwart ist, wie sich Freiheit und Demokratie in dieser existenziellen Krise bewahren lassen.

It is a conceptual compass for navigating Gramsci’s thought with rigor, clarity, and historical depth.

Scritto intorno al 1550 da Étienne de La Boétie, il Discorso sulla servitù volontaria è uno dei testi più audaci della modernità nascente.

La Boétie smaschera l'illusione del potere fondato sulla forza e individua nell'abitudine, nell'interesse e nella rinuncia alla responsabilità individuale le vere radici della tirannide.
