KAKISTOCRACY
And cited by no other than the inimitable and simply brilliant Max Keiser, whose show The Keiser Report on Russia Today I continue to watch as often as possible.
K-A-K-I-S-T-O-C-R-A-C-Y
And I thought he said 'cacastocracy', believing it to be his play on the word 'aristocracy' and the word 'caca' which, well, we all know means shit, shite, crap...call it what you will. I thought it was his take on the shitty power financial-military-corporate elites that currently rule (and destroy) the world. That sure made me laugh out loud.
But, much to my surprise, it is an actual word, the meaning of which is:
(kăk'ĭ-stŏk'rə-sē, kä'kĭ-)
n., pl., -cies.
Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.
What a word that so eloquently and precisely conjures up these morally corrupt and filthy elites that continue to hold sway in this increasingly mad and unjust world.
This priceless word is the living epitome of what 2011 became and for which it will go down in years to come - as the watershed year in which the working and middle classes all over the world finally woke up and realized that the rich and the powerful most certainly do NOT have our interests at hand, never mind at heart...
So, once again, I must tip my hat to the brilliant Mr. Keiser. He has done it again.
Or maybe it should be cacastocracy after all...?
Do you get my point?
