Sumario:The discussions on the democracy cannot avoid to give response to the fact that while it is "consolidated", people live worse. What can seem a paradox, in reality shows that, in the conceptions as well as in the political practice, prevails a related democracy conception with the excluding objectives of the neoliberal capitalistic domination: the governable democracy. These visions and practical permeate, even, to trigger it of the left parties in Latin America, that nevertheless their growing political and institutional presence, remain conditioned to a political logic that weakens their transforming potential. After discussing the historical and theoretical relationships of the Marxism and the liberalism with the democracy, this work faces theoretical, historical and politically the process in which the governable democracy, that it is a method of political and social control, it has been imposed as the democracy "actually existing". Also are approached their contradictions and the crisis that crosses today Latin America.
