Ebensor's The Idea of Democracy Against the State: Marx and the Machiavellian Moment was first published in 1997. As we will see, the idea of latent democracy in Abensour's work is rooted in Machiavelli's thought, expanded and developed through a "dissident reading" of Marx, and refined by examining democratic impulses. In this book, Miguel Abensour, relying on an innovative reading of Marx, attempts to explain the meaning and limits of democracy as a force that has nothing in common with the representative system, nor even with the agonistic versions. Radical and conflicting people who seek to solve issues within the boundaries of the government. Of course, we must be careful not to confuse Abensour's reading with a kind of anti-state anarchism that avoids any structure and institution. With the help of a creative and daring reading of Marx, Ebensor cuts from the gradualist theories and does not even consider democracy, as some radical narratives of it, as a growing and developing process that destroys the state. leads to deterioration; Rather, by identifying and reactivating the Machiavellian moment in Marx, he considers democracy to be a kind of stormy and insurgent creation of a space of contradiction and conflict, which is based on the resistance of the warrior against the state.
