Russian term

дермократия

Russian to English Other Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
Can you explain what 'дермократия' is? I cannot find it in any dictionary. What is the etymology of this word?

I have found it for example in the following sentence:

'во мне все равно какой порядок коммунизм,фашизм, дермократия, анархия и проч .. для меня главное чтобы дали работать и зарабатывать'

Thank you in advance.

deMOCKracy or demoCRAPcy

I happen to think that the chosen answer isn't the best... so I thought I'd offer up a couple of other suggestions in the spirit of sharing. Happy New Year.

Дерьмократия - общественно-государственный строй, при котором декларируется свобода, обливается грязью прошлое, мизерное меньшинство населения получает право частной собственности над средствами производства, созданными кровью и потом всего народа, при этом означенное меньшинство получает благ в миллионы крат больше чем честные граждане, на которых выливается дерьмо.

Или другое определение - власть дерьма. Когда ничем и никем не сдерживаемое дерьмо (поддерживаемое Госдепартаментом США) захватывает власть
