*The democratic nation is an alternative modernity in which the individual, the free citizen, is achieved. It is the alternative society to social marginalization, and the democratic society versus the society or society of power and the state. It is the society that achieves free and equal emergence and existence against social consumption in which various forms of slavery and inequality are practiced and entrenched.
*Even until the middle of the twentieth century, the three primary components of capitalist modernity were: the tendency of permanent capital to enjoy the greatest profit, the arrangement of power in the form of the nation-state, and industrialism coinciding with the stage of transition from the manufacturing to the Industrial Revolution.
