democratic dictatorship

A form of government where the candidate is elected by popular vote but rarely or never actually enacts any policies that reflect the actual wishes of the constituency. The elected representative can either use subtle diplomacy to deflect criticsm, arrange for various forms of distraction to divert public attention, or be brazen in publicly declaring that policy will be different to popular opinion. Coined by Tim Francis in 2005.
The United States Federal Goverment's track record in regards to foreign policy and engaging military conflict could lead one to the conclusion that it has evolved into a democratic dictatorship. The same could be said for both the Federal Australian and UK governments to some extent, particularly in relation to Iraq and the Kyoto Agreement.

doctatorship

They oblige me to follow this course of treatment because it is most profitable for the clinic. Doctatorship is no less dangerous for the society than political dictatorship is. We live under the regime of medical fascism.

dictatorshit

An expression used to describe futile orders and rules, usually in the workplace. These are decided via the employers. And the ideas that from are behind the dictatorship are pointless, idiotic, very illogical and unreasonable. Dictatorshits can also be lead by parental figures that think they know best, when they haven't a fucking clue. Not forgetting dominant friends or your partner/ex partner.
Boss:"Larkin, get those invoices done by Thursday, organise a staff meeting to discuss productivity and clean up the toilets when you are done".

Larkin: "What? Clean the toilets boss!"

Boss: "Just get on with it, don't question my authority! If you wish to, a meeting can be arranged if you have a problem, do I make myself clear?"

Larkin: "Fuck this dictatorshit, I am out of here!"

Dictatorship

Dictatorship is a form of government where the leader of the country owns all of its citizens and their souls. Dictatorship kicks ass and it works, unlike communism. No hippies, no feminazi's, no bullshit, and if there is, they'll either go to another fucking country or be sentenced to death by firing squad. Depending on your dictator, you can live with peace and tranquility, or live a life of fear, or a live of poverty but either way, you take the shit without any complaining, unless you want to die that is.
I'm going to be a dictator when I grow up, and I'll end poverty...but I'll endorse the death penalty. Dictatorship
