Abstract
This article analyzes the relationship between democracy and the current stage of capitalist accumulation, a moment in which democracy is nothing but mere rhetorical discourse, something that is naturalized, without critical reflection, a mere bourgeois phraseology to justify greater action of the state and the institutionalization of legal and coercive apparatuses. It discusses how economic and political groups that control the current political system share some of the power that they currently utilize, given that this sharing implies an alteration of the very dynamics of capital accumulation.
