Words You Won’t Be Hearing

If “democracy” is government by the demos (people) and “aristocracy” is government by the aristos, then what would you call a government formed by the connections among people? That’s the question I posed, more or less, to the blogiverse’s resident Greek-Latin-Aramaic-French-German-Hebrew scholar, AKMA. He responds bravely to my question:

There’d be a form of metechein, so “metechocracy.”

Zeugnumi or synzeugnumi mean “join,” or “yoke”; what about “zeugnocracy”?

Power to the Zeugnoids!


AKMA has posted a sermon he gave on Thursday about The White Guy’s Burden. (This doesn’t do it justice; you’ll have to read it for yourself.)

  1. Of course the real question is what do we call the real (western) world. A society governed by Pigopolists; a Pigocracy following the tenets of Pigopolarchy.
