A fundamental distinction between authoritarianism and democracy lies in the fact that the former arranges its norms and institutions to inhibit and prevent conflict, or to repress and conceal it if prevention is not possible. Democracy, on the other hand, not only recognizes conflict but embraces it, creating instruments that allow for its effective resolution, based on the establishment of its causes and the interests involved, seeking ways through which such interests, whose opposition generates conflict, can lead to situations that, even if temporarily, achieve compatibility and functionality. There is no doubt that the democratic alternative is more difficult and arduous than the authoritarian perspective, but in return, it is the only one that can aspire to effective and integrating solutions, meaning that the diversity and contradiction of interests in increasingly complex societies allow us to continue living together in peace.
