Summary/Abstract: A threat to democracy in mass society is the possibility of transforming it into the power of the mob - the chancellor. The risks of chaos are related to the possible misappropriation of legitimacy, by the manipulation of political phantasms by the audiences by well-informed and often malicious categories of people who use the influence of media, classical or digital influences. The reflections on the conection between the chill and the democracy are facilitated by the book signed by Pompiliu Alexandru named The Faces of Ochlocraţia, published in 2017 at the Bibliotheca Publishing House, in Targoviste, Romania.
