La mésentente

Rancière describes how major political systems(la police) stifle political activity(la politique):
1,Arche-politics is communitarianism that seeks to harmonize society but stifle all room for politicl action.
2,Para-politics is where one removes the antagonistic element necessary for political action – in such a way as to formulate the explicit rules of the game that must be followed. The political is transformed into a police-logic – the ethics of Habermas and Rawls.
3,In the next, it is the Marxist or Socialist utopian meta-politics, whcich has at its core the suspension of the political aim. It is when the economic infrastructure takes over from the political: the government of the people followed by the government of everything and everyone within a completely transparent rational order directed by the collective will.
4,It is a fourth de-politicizing system: ultra-politics, which is practised through direct political militarization by taking conflicts to extremes – to a “for us or against us,” “friend or foe” level.
