Despite what people say, this text is not anti-democratic. It is a text that states that the democratic principle is rather useless, but the use of democracy in organisations is not. It is not an ideal but rather something to be used to decide on something. Bourgeois democracy is useless to the proletariat and is not beneficial to us in any significant way, as it deprives us of any form of influence.

Classic critique of democracy from the Communist Left, which explains that democracy is the form of organization of bourgeois society and that it really has no intrinsic value whatsoever for any real Marxist.

Un pequeño texto que describe primeramente de forma escueta la evolución de los sistemas "democráticos" a lo largo de la historia y como se artÃcula el voto y el sentimiento de la libre elección electoral. Seguidamente Bordiga reflexiona sobre si este principio democrático seguirá vigente durante la dictadura del proletariado, sus deficiencias y la necesidad de que la toma de decisiones surja orgánicamente durante la revolución para que en primera instancia la toma del poder sea cuestión del partido

A critique of the idea of "democracy" and the "democratic mechanism" from a Left Communist perspective. Very interesting points.
