A socioeconomic philosophy that seeks to equalize decision-making power by giving ownership of businesses to the workers that run them. Allegedly, this will even out the distribution of wealth by shifting power from the minority (corporations) and put it in the hands of the majority (the people). Society will then democratically be able to choose the level of resources allocated to businesses.

Get the economic democracy mug.When you run for office in a Democratic system, lose the vote, declare yourself the winner anyway and accuse everyone else of being the ones in denial.
"Before the election was called, I had a pretty good feeling about it, so I preemptively declare victory and anointed myself an Anarcho-Monarch of Ottowa. Then to my shock and also not shock at all, the elites appointed their own puppet-leader instead, Zed Shabibe. Or something, I dunno, I wasn't paying attention. I'm calling upon my supporters to not recognize the legitimacy of these so-called 'elected officials' unless it's ever me."

Get the Democrat immunity mug.The 21st century version of a "Yellow dog Democrat". The term came about following the election of Donald Trump, when left-wingers began proclaiming that they would vote for Adolf Hitler if he ran against Trump in the following election (despite the fact that Trump apparently IS Hitler). This admission that they would happily vote for Hitler so long as he ran as a Democrat led people to 'update' the term "Yellow dog Democrat" to reflect the current state of American (or, more specifically, left-wing) politics.
Person A: I would vote for a Hitler/Biden ticket if it means getting Trump out of office!
Person B: Do you even hear yourself, you idiotic Hitler Democrat.
