Definition
A system of government or social organization where enslaved people or servants hold power, or a state ruled by or for the benefit of slaves.
Etymology
From Greek 'doulos' (slave) + 'kratos' (power or rule). This rare political term was constructed following the standard Greek pattern for naming governmental systems, similar to 'democracy' and 'aristocracy.'
Kelly Says
This is such a rare and theoretically interesting word that it's almost never used—but it represents an important philosophical point: what would government look like if enslaved people held power? The existence of the word itself reveals how ancient Greek political thinkers explored all possible systems.
