VIGILANTE TYPE OF DEMOCRACY: A NEOLIBERAL ATTEMPT TO THE SOLUTION

Year 2021, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 11 - 26, 30.09.2021

Abstract

Vigilante is not just criminal phenomenon. It is an economic, political, and ideo-logical movement. It is a mechanism of domination over ‘outside’ in the name of the system. If the system does not set up a hegemony over ‘outside, it establishes domination via vigilante. ‘Outside’ is pacified by vigilante. With this way, vigi-lante politically provides production of the system and reproduction of that. Therefore, vigilante shapes contemporary democracies. Developed countries like developing countries strengthen their capitalist democracies if there is a protest from ‘outside’. Vigilante is used for elimination of anti-hegemonic blocs which aim protest to current capitalist system. Neoliberalism, which has been in crisis from 2008, uses vigilante from developing countries to developed countries. So democratic regimes have turned into the type of democracy vigilante. It can be hypothesized that vigilantes may be more obvious with the deepening crisis of capitalism. In this framework the type of democracy vigilante is an attempt to the solution for neoliberalism, which has been in a crisis. The aim of this study is to analyze the type of democracy vigilante, which is derived by the movement of vigilante. The scope of this study is democracy experiences which are dominated by the type of democracy vigilante. The hypothesis of this study is today, the type of democracy vigilante, which can be observed in the USA as prototype, is an attempt of the solution for neoliberalism to weather a crisis in thorough world capitalist countries in which capitalism have been dominant system.

VIGILANTE TİP DEMOKRASİ: BİR NEOLİBERAL ÇÖZÜM DENEMESİ

Abstract

Vigilante yalnızca bir kriminal olgu değildir. Vigilante, ekonomik, politik ve ideolojik bir harekettir. Vigilante ‘dışarısı’ üzerinde, sistem adına, tahakküm kurma mekanizmasıdır. Sistem eğer hegemonya yoluyla ‘dışarısı’ üzerinde ege-menlik kuramazsa, vigilante aracılığıyla tahakküm kurmaktadır. ‘Dışarısı’, vigi-lante aracılığıyla pasifize edilmektedir. Bu yanıyla vigilante, siyasal anlamda, si-yasal sistemin üretimi ve yeniden üretimini sağlamaktadır. Vigilante bu yanıyla günümüz demokrasilerine şekil vermektedir. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerin yanında gelişmiş ülkeler de kapitalist demokrasilerini eğer ‘dışarıdan’ bir itiraz varsa vigi-lante aracılığıyla sağlamlaştırmaktadır. Vigilante, mevcut kapitalist sisteme itiraz eden karşı hegemonya odaklarını tasfiye etmek için kullanılmaktadır. 2008 Dün-ya ekonomik krizinden bu yana krizde olan neoliberalizm de gelişmekte olan ülkelerden başlayarak gelişmiş ülkelere doğru vigilanteleri kullanmaktadır. Bu yanıyla artık, demokratik rejimler, vigilante tip demokratik rejimlere dönüşmek-tedir. Kapitalizmin krizi derinleştikçe, vigilantelerin daha fazla görünür olabile-ceği varsayılabilir. Bu çerçevede vigilante tip demokrasi, krize, neoliberal bir çö-züm denemesidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; Vigilante hareketinden türetilen vigilante tip demokrasinin analizini yapmaktır. Çalışmanın kapsamı; vigilante iktidarının egemen olduğu demokrasi deneyimleridir. Çalışmanın hipotezi; ABD’de prototip olarak gördüğümüz Vigilante tip demokrasi, bugün, neoliberal kapitalist düzen-de, kapitalizmin egemen olduğu dünya ülkeleri için kriz aşmak için bir çözüm olarak denenmesidir.
