The term Political Ridiculous refers to a large-scale change in political culture. The hypothesis of this article is that this mutation is at a fundamental aesthetic level for politics. The tragical as the foundation of politics has been replaced by the comical. Another hypothesis is that the transition to contemporary fascism is made through the methodological use of the political ridiculous transformed into capital, especially in electoral processes shaped by populism. The article therefore proposes to introduce the concept of ridicule through an analysis of the laughable as a psycho-political form of control and social catharsis.
