Tyranny of the Lobbyists/ Kleptocrats

A condition in which the democratic will and collective welfare of the populace are subordinated to the entrenched influence of powerful conglomerates, multinational corporations, and strategically positioned non-governmental organisations. These entities, often acting as proxies for the geopolitical and economic priorities of their respective states, exercise disproportionate sway over the political process. In doing so, they erode civic freedoms, curtail liberties, and diminish the agency of ordinary citizens within the public sphere, replacing representative governance with a system governed by private interest, elite patronage, and institutional capture.

Person 2: “No, that is the Tyranny of the Lobbyists/ Kleptocrats, when those in power serve the interests of wealthy lobbies instead of the people who elected them.”
