 East European Constitutional Review
Slovakia's postcommunist and postindependence political experience has been characterized by a phenomenon unique in East Central Europe: ochlocracy, or rule by the rabble.
For nearly a half-decade, leading up to the parliamentary elections of late September 1998, Slovakia was governed by a coalition of misanthropes and harlequins, headed by a politically wily but mentally unbalanced prime minister, Vladimir Meciar.
What is more, Meciar's ambitions are undiminished, and if the new government fails, the possibility of his eventual return to power cannot be ruled out entirely.

 Peculiarities of Euripidean Dramas
On the principles of this latter age rests the whole character of Euripides.
Far from approving the destructive tendencies of the time, he held aloof from public life on principle, and his private life was blameless; but he was permeated through and through with that spirit of boundless subjectivity and the skeptical moral paralysis resulting from it, which was the special characteristic of the age of ochlocracy.
He was a keen observer of human life and its ceaseless whirl of passions.

Personal defects applying to any kind of state are: if those upon whom the administration is incumbent perform their duty negligently or basely; and if citizens, who have no distinction left them but that of obedience, champ the bit.
To such unhealthy states many apply special names also, calling a defective monarchy tyranny, a defective government of the few, oligarchy, a defective popular government, ochlocracy.
Yet it frequently happens that many men in using these terms do not express so much a malady of the state, as their own feeling or displeasure with the present regime, or the rulers.

 An Essay On Democracy.
In considering the word, "democracy," what I first drawn to your attention is the suffix, "-ocracy." This suffix expresses the operative meaning of the larger word, "democracy"; it is the indicator of the dominant, superior, or aspiring class who would rule; it is derived from the Greek word kratos, meaning strength or power.
Any word might be added to this suffix, which will then indicate the type of rule, such as: plutocracy (rule by the wealthy), ochlocracy (mob-rule), angelocracy (government by angels), etc. Democracy is the rule by, or the dominion of, the people; it comes from the Greek word, demos.
It is often referred to as popular government.

 J. W. Goethe on the Classics
Surely, thinks Schiller, democracy is the one correct political form, and the wave of the future--yet he plainly sees how those who rule themselves in Paris are not even good citizens, much less competent to educate others.
They have set up a viciously downward spiral as democracy, gravitating toward ever greater egalitarianism until it culminates, as in Cicero's Rome, in the ochlocracy of the great man, be he a Caesar or a Danton.
So long as all begins and ends with the people, how can the people escape their recurringly catastrophic imbecility?
