"KakistocracyOpen in new Window.

Kakistocracy is government by the worst men. Lord knows our world has seen plenty of that. Some examples people immediately think of are the likes of Saddam Hussein. I disagree however. Hussein kept ISIS at bay at least. A true aristocracy was Adolph Hitler or Josef Stalin. These were both evil men.

What is a kakistocracy
It certainly could be aristocracy
It too is government bureaucracy
Usually it's government lacking theocracy!

It's a government by the worst of men
It's happened before and will again
It's a government based on son
It's a government that should not have been.

It's a blemish on the world
It's the work of men whose wrong unfurled.
