"Democracy: Representative and Participatory" by Alain de Benoist
Representative democracy—essentially liberal and bourgeois—is the most widespread political regime in the Western world today. Representatives are authorized by election to transform the popular will into acts of government. Thus we tend to think of “democracy” and “representation” as almost synonyms. The history of ideas, however, does not support this at all.
