The people of ressentiment and redention versus emancipation

Abstract
This article examines the philosophical notion of resentment from the standpoint of its generative force in politics. Not to justify it, just to understand how it contributes to articulate an exclusionary people or demos. For this I will use two distinctions. One is the one that the Guaraní language offers us between two figures of the first-person plural, oré and ñandé, which designate the particularistic and exclusionary we and the inclusionary we, correspondingly. The other distinction is between emancipation and redemption or secular salvation. The people of resentment are committed to exclusionary forms of politics and to the salvation of their particularism rather than to emancipation.
