The electoral defeat of Victor Orban and the indescribable behavior of Trump lead to the conclusion that the political potential of populist right wingers is limited and a better theoretical basis is required for the “Freedom movement”. Greece experimented with a bicameral parliamentary system but finally opted for a unicameral alternative. The demands of universal suffrage can be satisfied if only one of the two (or more?) parliamentary chambers is based on universal suffrage but the possibility of this is obviously dependent on the institution of at least two parliamentary chambers. There are many disadvantages to universal suffrage and historically it has not applied everywhere in the parliamentary system. Experience during the COVID “pandemic” suggests that most people want to follow the dictates of what they perceive as “authority” and in many cases also to target their fellow-citizens who are perceived (by “authority”) to be defying authority.

While the exact reasons are private, reports suggest it was driven by personal despair, feelings of intellectual failure regarding his work, and the pressures of political disillusionment. Feelings of Failure: Witness accounts suggest that shortly before his death, Poulantzas expressed that his theoretical work was worthless and that he had failed in his efforts. Political Disillusionment: He was reportedly disappointed by the, at the time, perceived failure of Euro-Communism and the lack of understanding or support within activist groups. Personal and Professional Stress: Accounts note he was under significant pressure and felt personal despair, possibly compounded by not being granted a professorship. Context of Death: He committed suicide by jumping from the apartment of a friend in Paris. His death is often cited as a profound loss to Marxist theory and a, as described in a Duke University … Continue reading
