in the land of the pure is it khatisocracy or patrimonialism?

 in the land of the pure is it khatisocracy or patrimonialism?


Patrimonialism refers to a governance system where politicians use patronage to maintain power, especially in nations lacking national identities or legitimate structures of authority. It is often fueled by social heterogeneity, colonial institutional legacies, and the absence of civilian control over the military.


kakistocracy

government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state.

"the danger is that this will reduce us to kakistocracy"

a state or society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens.

plural noun: kakistocracies



pS:  I take credit for coining  KHAKISTOCRACY
