Resumo: In Democracy against capitalism, Ellen Wood defends two important theses: capitalism inaugurates a new kind of exploitation and extortion of the working class that is not directly dependent on state extortion; this makes it possible for some political rights to be extended to a larger number of people through the establishment of “representative democracy”. On the other hand, workers' political participation is limited: by identifying democracy with political representation, the ruling classes have created an illusion of popular political participation that is, in fact, extremely limited, or almost nil. In this article, we intend to show some of the main limits of representative democracy, and how this “democracy” atomizes citizens and keeps them away from effective political participation. For this, we will use other influential theorists such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Bernard Manin, Hanna Pitkin, Noam Chomsky.

Por outro lado, a participação política dos trabalhadores é limitada: ao identificar a democracia com a representação política, as classes dominantes criaram uma ilusão de participação política popular que é, na verdade, extremamente limitada, ou quase nula. Neste artigo, pretendemos mostrar alguns dos principais limites da democracia representativa, e como essa democracia atomiza os cidadãos e os mantém afastados de uma participação política efetiva. Para isso, recorreremos a outros teóricos influentes como Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Bernard Manin, Hanna Pitkin, Noam Chomsky.Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia2021-10-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedEvaluados por los paresAvaliados pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/244110.31977/grirfi.v21i3.2441Griot : Revista de Filosofia; v. 21 n. 3 (2021); 236-2472178-1036reponame:Griot : Revista de Filosofiainstname:Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)instacron:UFRBporhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/2441/1484Copyright (c) 2021 Tamiris Moreira Simãohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMoreira Simão, Tamiris2021-10-28T13:44:44Zoai:seer.www.ufrb.edu.br:article/2441Revistahttp://www.ufrb.edu.br/griot/PUBhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/oai||griotrevista@gmail.com2178-10362178-1036opendoar:2021-10-28T13:44:44Griot : Revista de Filosofia - Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)false
