Kahlocracy 

A term originating from Algerian slang, combining the words "Kahl" and "kratos." It refers to the rule of a generation known as "Kohoul," which are typically associated with being boomers or older individuals.

Kahlocracy is characterized by the influence and control exerted by these older individuals who often exhibit resistance to economic liberalization, favoring a more regulated and protected market.

While the term is rooted in Algerian slang, it can be more broadly applied to describe similar dynamics in other contexts where an older generation holds significant sway over societal and political affairs, often shaping the direction of policies and ideologies.

The term captures the prevailing sentiment that this generation is underwhelming in public offices, tending to cling to authority and privileges based on their claimed participation in the war of independence.

Use it to describe any situation where the old guard reigns supreme, holding tight to their power while the rest of us roll our eyes.

Kahlocracy 

A term originating from Algerian slang, combining the words "Kahl" (meaning "older man") and "kratos" (meaning "rule" or "power").

Kahlocracy is characterized by the influence and control exerted by these older individuals who often resist economic liberalization and prefer a more protected market. They tend to stifle private sector initiatives while monopolizing the import sector. Despite efforts by security sectors and lawmakers to combat import mafias through legislation, the kahlocratic system hampers production, reducing job opportunities for the youth, limiting market supply, and leading to higher prices, currency devaluation, poverty, and crime.

While the term is rooted in Algerian slang, it can be broadly applied to describe similar dynamics in other contexts where an older generation holds significant sway over societal and political affairs. They often shape the direction of policies and ideologies, suppressing talented and ambitious youth while opportunists and religious traders thrive during economic downturns.

The term embodies the widespread feeling that this older generation is disappointing in public offices, clinging to power and privileges based on their alleged participation in the war of independence.

Use it to describe any situation where the old guard reigns supreme, holding tight to their power while the rest of us roll our eyes in amazement.
Kahlocracy is innovative! The Kahlocrat always invents new ways to keep us stuck in the past.

Kahlocracy ensures that school curricula teach us to love life and keep hope alive, only to dash our hopes once we reach university.
