A system of government or organization run by fools or foolish people.
Constructed from 'fool' combined with '-ocracy' (from Greek 'kratos' meaning power or rule), following the pattern of democracy, autocracy, and aristocracy to describe forms of government.
This word reveals how English loves Greek and Latin building blocks to create new terms—you can combine '-ocracy' with almost anything to describe who holds power, letting us invent words like 'meritocracy' or 'theocracy' without needing dictionary approval.
