This work has as main objective to approach the anarchist criticism of the Democratic State and democracy. Throughout history, anarchists were the ones who most analyzed and criticized the State, the vote and representative politics, however, this fact does not end this question, on the contrary, this historical criticism doesn’t have an end, but it is updated all the days from the constant transformations of the capitalist economic model and the attempts to change the representative policy in order to try to hold the people's longings for greater participation. In this order of ideas, before presenting and criticizing the current democratic model, it will be essential to bring to the fore from start authors who legitimize and advocate for democracy and the Democratic State of Law, bringing the concept of the Democratic State and its principles in a way that, from the anarchist philosophy they are put in check, since they are contradictory with the ends that they intend to reach and with the democracy itself. Thus, this work draws on the rich theory of the state developed by anarchists, mainly by Bakunin and Kropotkin, who make a profound analysis of the nature of the state, its dominant and class character, to point out all the contradictions between the state and democracy, and how the ruling classes misrepresented democracy in order to legitimize domination and class privileges. Nevertheless, it is intended to present alternatives to this centralizing model, including by giving examples of contemporary revolutions that have sought to apply a more libertarian, more true model of democracy and in contrast to the figure of the State.
