We want to be free individuals, and yet we know that someone must call the shots. Someone must lead. We must somehow organize ourselves collectively. Ideally, we delegate the power to command to the most qualified, right? But now we've settled into a populist critique of intellectual and academic elites: experts are under suspicion. How can this be? The mantra of a general rejection of politicians, of all of them, also dominates. Are they all the same? It's another way of denying power. So, how do we do it? Behind the crisis of democracy, there are these phenomenal confusions that feed on an endemic foundation of libertarian spontaneity—in Catalonia, we have historical experiences—a tendency fueled today by reactionary anti-system forces. The primary rejection of power, always latent, the fruit of a healthy skepticism, is paradoxically leading us headlong into new forms of personalistic and authoritarian government. The phenomenon is global. The Minotaur always floats.</p>]]></description>
