Also known as mob rule, mobocracy
democracy spoiled by demagoguery and the rule of passion over reason
AI overview
Ochlocracy is a form of government where power is controlled by an unruly mob driven by emotion and manipulation rather than rational thought or principle. It matters because it represents democracy corrupted by demagogues—leaders who appeal to people's passions instead of reason—which can undermine the fairness and stability that healthy democracy requires.
