Abstract: Absurdity occurs when demagogues deliberately abuse their power inflicted by their own interest and self-gratification over giving service to humanity and fulfilling social obligations. At present, most political leaders make improper practices of politics. This paper investigates the basis why primitive man needs to engage in a social contract, emancipated from a chain, the nature of democracy, filth on participatory democracy, check and balanced of a certain state, and restore the harmony of such state to affirm the present condition of absurdity. Participatory democracy is found as the most corrupt form of government. Hence, most political leaders greedily exercise their powers. This is totally absurd. It is said then that the will of man dominates over his reason.

Keywords: absurdity, democracy, politics, reason, will.
