ABSTRACT 

This paper aims to analyze the paradox of mass organizations in a democratic country. The issue of mass organization activities has recently become increasingly heated and relevant. Instead of playing a role in strengthening development, their existence is actually seen as leading to social disintegration. Mass organization activities often create public fear and unrest. Sadly, they are even considered to hamper the domestic investment climate. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach. The data analysis technique uses the Miles and Hubberman model, namely data collection, data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the existence of mass organizations in the democratic space is at a crossroads. On the one hand, democracy requires their existence as a manifestation of public participation. On the other hand, mass organizations often create threats of social disintegration in society. Various practices of mass organizations in informal spaces are considered to have disturbed the public. As a result, the state is required to adopt proportional policies without weakening democratic values ​​and harming the public . 

Keywords: Social Disintegration; Associative Freedom; Mass Organization; Democratic System
