Pseudomocracy
any country claiming to be a democracy, which in all actuality is not. especially in reference to federal republics which are legitimately and incorrectly understood by many to be democracies. north korea’s government would also be a pseudomocracy, but this term wouldn’t be required; a hearty laugh would suffice.
president: our goal in this war is to spread democracy around the world… (tv turned-off).
egalitarian parent (ep): what a joke! everybody knows that this is a federal republic and nothing close to a democracy. this is just a pseudomocracy. legislators have no concept of how the majority of their const-tuency feel. they are essentially awarded their position by a corporation and primarily represent corporate interests.
child: but mommy, my teacher says that we have a representative democracy. she says that our country is too big to have a direct democracy and that this is the closest thing in the world.
ep: well sweetie, what do you pledge allegiance to everyday after the flag?
child: um… the republic that it stands for.
ep: that’s right pumpkin. also, there are countries in europe where people can vote on all federal laws and policies. even on their const-tution. it works great for them.
next time that your teachers says that we live in a democracy, correct her. we live in a psuedomocracy.
sailor: excuse me, chief. i’m having a moral dilemma. i already pledged not to lie, but you told me to say that i am supporting democracy around the world. is this a trick; we live in a pseudomocracy.
chief: shut up you momo and say it!
chinese voting official: hey you, vote for these people. you must vote inc-mbents, this how democracy work.
villager: strong accent! i already know this how a pseudomocracy work!
