In Western society, political verbiage expresses a double illusion while simultaneously generating it. We are witnessing the development of the illusion of the political man who believes he controls the state apparatus and always makes effective political decisions, while he is increasingly powerless against the growing rigidity of state mechanisms.

Description

In Western society, political verbiage expresses a double illusion while simultaneously generating it. We are witnessing the development of the illusion of the political man who believes he controls the state apparatus and always makes effective political decisions, while he is increasingly powerless against the growing rigidity of state mechanisms.

However, the power and effectiveness of the state's means of action, which intervene ever more deeply and precisely in the life of the nation and the lives of citizens, hide this powerlessness of the political man. The politician, even if he is a dictator, ultimately exercises no control over these means.

At the same time, the illusion of the citizen appears, who, still living with the ideology of popular sovereignty and democratic constitutions, believes he can control politics, orient it, participate in political function, while the most he can do is effectively control utterly powerless politicians.

Based on this double illusion, he gets involved in a dialogue of the powerless. Is there an answer to this difficult situation? If there were, it would certainly be humble and heroic.
