Over the past years, there has been a crisis of the democratic element, i.e. the government of the people, in the really existent parliamentary democracies of Europe and America. Again, the social protest has arisen, like in France against the work contracts or in the United States against the immigrant laws. In contrast, in Latin America and other places of the southern world the representative democracy has suffered a deeper and more explicit crisis and has pointed at the need for a more equal and fair social order and more useful tools to build a true democracy. The debate on the relationship between democracy and socialism has faded over the past years and the idea that only parliamentary institutions and free market can consolidate democracy has gained power. Thus, it is relevant to bring back that tradition of thought and action where democracy and socialism merge.
