Musings

Polyarchy: A system where the participation of masses of people is limited to voting among one or another representatives of the elite in periodic elections. Between elections, the masses are expected to keep quiet, go back to life as usual while the elite make decisions and run the world until they can choose between one or another elite member another four years later. So polyarchy is a system of elite rule, and a system of elite rule that is little bit more soft-core than the elite rule that we would see under a military dictatorship; but what we see is that under a polyarchy, the basic socio-economic system does not change, it does not become democratized.
