RE: The Dynamics of Power - Part 1 - The Legitimacy of Authority
Acceptance by the population of the power, to agree, to submit to the political power can be determined by the elections to the authorities, demonstrations, opposition to the government.Legitimacy directly depends on the effectiveness of the government,the degree of fulfillment of all the functions for which the people sought.Any legitimacy stems from the people's hopes for the effectiveness of the government.In our world, most States are experiencing a crisis of political legitimacy.
Elections are the deceiver to maintain the decadent centralized systems in society and legitimate in the public eye.
"States are experiencing a crisis of political legitimacy" is totally true and I think it's worst than the time we replaced Kings by parliaments and republics.
The chaos today is very similar to when people stopped believing that power was not a gift of the gods.
But Power of the State comes from the controls of information, education, media and the beaurocratic machine of the "deep state".
