"Another figure who recently died should be mentioned here, Alfredo
Stroessner, the unexpected precursor of the state of emergency as a
normal way of life. Stroessner's authoritarian regime in Paraguay of
the 60s and 70s brought the logic of the state of exception to its
unsurpassed absurd extreme: Paraguay was - with regard to its
constitutional order - a »normal« parliamentary democracy with all
freedoms guaranteed; however, since, as Stroessner claimed, we all live
in a state of emergency because of the worldwide struggle between
freedom and Communism, the full implementation of the constitution was
forever postponed and a permanent state of emergency was proclaimed.
This state of emergency was suspended only for one day every four
years, the election day, so that free elections could have been held,
which legitimized the rule of Stroessner's Colorado Party with the
majority of 90% worthy of his Communist opponents. The paradox is that
the state of emergency was the normal state, while "normal" democratic
freedom was the briefly enacted exception... Did this weird regime not
merely spill out in advance the most radical consequence of the
tendency clearly perceptible in our liberal-democratic societies in the
aftermath of September 11th? As President Bush said immediately after
September 11, America is in a state of war - however, the problem is
that, precisely, America is obviously NOT in a state of war, at least
not in the old conventional sense of the term (for the large majority,
the daily life goes on, and war remains the exclusive business of state
agencies): the very distinction between the state of war and the state
of peace is thus blurred, we are entering a time in which a state of
peace itself can be at the same time a state of emergency."
Slavoj Zizek, "Five Years After: The Fire in the Minds of Men"
