Interests and Political Culture

Summary/Abstract: Defining politics as an institutional social power of mediation among interests, the author concludes that all of them who have neither objective nor subjective conditions to influence upon that power are deprived of possibility to change their own situation of interest. That has important implications not only for their permanent human interest, because they are prevented to develop their universal relation and to manifest themselves the whole personalities. The level of political culture is a clear indicator of the stage of the man’s freedom and his socialization. The lack or low level of political culture results »subjectively« in an apathy and feeling of one's own political minority and alienation, and from the social point of view it supports conditions for constant reproduction of political »elite* and bureaucratic structures. In the time of the full swing of the scientific-technological revolution, man alienated from politics, be- he has to resist and that he cannot resist to it. Furnished with technical comes easily the function of each system because he is not conscious that knowledge and by the authority of science, technocracy is really able that by so called technical aspects of decisions conceals interest aspects for all those who are "incompetent". So technical in the conditions of the low level of political culture and loyal consciousness about culture as "loyally" can play defining role in the mediation among interests. The author concludes that for the suppression of political monopoly and technocracy arc not sufficient only intelectual frameworks, but constant changes of both material conditions of existence and construction of political culture as a cognition and feeling that only by active relation in the complex of political context one can influence upon his social, i. e. interest situation.
