Should minorities bow down to the majority? Today in Brazil there is a consensus about this topic, especially after President Bolsonaro has publicly defended it. If you talk to friends or family, you will see a lot of absurd covered under a pseudo-democratic mantle. The main idea is full democracy without check and balances, everything decided with plebiscite and referendum, even those subjects who constitution prohibits, like death penalty and the end of demarcations lands to native people. The issue is: Full democracy like this does not exist anywhere around the world. Western democracies are based on the Mostesquieu ideas from 18th century, he is the father of the tripartite system (executive legislative and judicial), the separate and independent powers and areas of responsibility was created to avoid autocracies and only in the exceptional cases one power can assume temporarily the other power´s function. This relation is called check and balances, because according to the idea, institutions must have limits. What these genial Brazilians didn´t realize is that the “people” are also a institute, therefore, they can´t decide about everything and everywhere, people need their own check and balance, otherwise, it wouldn´t be a democracy, but the dictatorship of the majority. Also in 18th century, was born “Utilitarianism”, created by Jeremy Benthan and John Stuart Mill, an ethical system who was intended to expand to all sectors of knowledge, habits and customs of society. Basicly, utilitarianism defends the happiness of the greatest number of people in society is consider the greatest good. There is no necessary debate about the subjectivity of happiness. Should the system kill if the majority desires? Should cops torture criminals to get information? If that happens, would these acts causes more happiness than pain in the society in general? How to measure this? Just remember that Christ died in a very similar system, the dictatorship of the majority. This is the Brazilian society nowadays, proposes as a brand new idea a discussion buried more than two hundred years ago. *I created a website to post my texts and ideas, and I´m using them to practice my English and Spanish.
