Democracy

The fictitious political position presented as rule by vote of a majority of citizens, through representation of delegates, and by power of attorney. Results in mob rule and then oligarchy. In each election cycle, a minority of citizens turn out to vote, and even a majority of a minority is still a minority. Thus, a minority can rule the majority in a representative democracy if elections were bona fide, which they generally are not.

Rule by the rich: Western governments are oligarchies, not democracies
