pultocracia
  44

The suffix -cracia is evidently indicative of a characteristic of government, however there are doubts about which one is referred to in this case. From the Greek 960; 959; 955; 964; 959; 962; (poltos "pulp") comes to the Latin noun puls, pultis as a meal prepared with flour paste or legumes, which inspired qualifiers such as "puls cerebri", something like "brain puree", for a person with limited intellectual abilities. This would elliptically indicate that a 'pultocracy' is a 'government of stupids'. Although there is another possible more direct etymology that supposes an origin in the Latin verb pulto, as, are as "to beat, shake, to hit", and that is interpreted as "the government that assumes through a coup d'état", or perhaps "the government that shakes us. . . somehow." 128533;
