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.
