Logocratie

When the official word is freed from the real, when the speeches of the power are no longer aimed at describing, but at transvesting? When the communication of the state no longer seeks to enlighten, but to obscure? It is all the foundations of democracy that are vacculating. When the rulers free themselves from the pressure to say what they are doing, what was indistinguishable becomes suddenly possible. This book demonstrates how far from protecting the French Republic from the global spread of post-truth, Emmanuel Macron's presidency has plunged it into it. It reveals that it is possible to corrupt the democratic ideal without disturbing the institutions. Subversion of language, by lies and disloyalty, is enough to project us into a dislodged exercise of authority, always further from the promise of a government by and for the people. To avoid being dissociated from a bad, we must begin by knowing that we have to name it with a word: we have to base ourselves on the promise of a government by and for the people.
