lactocracy

The philosophy of a governing agency, or leaders of a group of underlings or trainees, whereby the governing agency/leaders deliberately coddle and infantalize the citizens and/or underlings/trainees, based on the assumption that people should never experience any stress, should never stretch themselves in the pursuit of excellence, and should never, essentially, be weaned from the breast. Ever. This is especially prominent among irritating helicopter-parent training directors in psychiatry today.

RLF: "Hey Barb, I am still fuming that the assistant training director sent an email to all the residents telling them to look at other fellowships, and not just ours! What the heck? Why did she do that?"

Barb D: "Well, Bob, you know our reputation for really pushing the residents to become the best they can be. That puts us at odds with the current lactocracy in control of the department. Duh."

Liftocracy

A form of Government where whoever can lift the most weight gets full executive, legislative and judicial oversight. Liftocratic Government may change hands to whom-so-ever lifts more than the current reigning Alpha. Liftocracy in a literal sense therefore may be regarded as the strongest form of government ever devised.

Bro 1: Democracy is cringe and gay
Bro 2: I know dude, it's too weak, we need strong governance
Bro 1: We NEED liftocracy

Lottocracy 

Government of the People by People chosen by Lottery.

A theory of government run by people recruited for office via a public lottery system. The lottery system would largely resemble the various systems in place today for choosing jury pools.

There would be no repeat public service required - previous service would be a valid exemption. Holding a position for two terms would be almost impossible. Some individuals would not qualify, just as they would not qualify for jury duty. Some would qualify for a temporary or hardship exemption. Eligibility would be based on age and residency. Citizenship may be required for some posts.

A Lottocracy makes wealth and fund-raising non-issues for a candidate for public office, as we would all be candidates with a more or less equal probability of being chosen.

Additional checks and balances may be required that do not exist in America's system of Democracy. For instance, no single position could hold ultimate power over any individual, group or organization. However, a Lottocracy would be almost free of special interest groups and so-called partisanship. It would also guarantee equal representation - a concept proposed by the founding fathers of the United States, but one sorely lacking in today's government.

Joe Plumber: You know, democracy kind of sucks. People that really want to run for office are probably the people that should never hold office.

Jane Plumbed: Yeah. ... Hey! Maybe you should run for President!

Joe Plumber: Nah! That job would suck. But maybe it would be better if we picked someone by lottery!

Jane Plumbed: Yeah. We could call it a Lottocracy.

Lootocracy 

A system of government in which the majority of politicians in power are in power with the main purpose of illegally appropriating to themselves, the commonwealth of the people they serve through inflated contracts, dubious projects, or outright stealing in a manner of plundering. These system of government is often in the guise of legitimate democracy but without the intents or benefits of democracy. This prevail in countries usually with all the paraphernalia of democracy in place but seldom has the implementation as intended and without consequences for bad behaviors to officials of government or their associstes.

Lootocrats, lootocratic

Governments in most thirdnworld countries need to deviate from lootocracy and implementing true democracy with the inherent consequences for bad behavior, especially of government officials, for the benefits of the people they serve.
