Abstract

In the following work we intend to think of Populism as the periphery of Democracy from the reading of Benjamín Arditi. It is true that Populism would become the negative edge of Democracy and/or that place which should not be reached. For the author, there are three levels of Populism, which will have a certain connection with liberal representative Democracy, in which the last level is the one that pretends to be a problem, that of the possibility of an authoritarian government, which in a demagogic way attracts the distracted and innocent people. That is why we propose to think about these levels of populism and its direct relationship or not with Democracy. When do you think of Populism? Necessarily, do you think about Democracy?
