imacracy
A government which tries to have the image of being a democracy, but isn't.
Svetlana:
Jeepers, Boris, every journalist who writes an article criticizing our president seems to get knocked-off, put into an insane assylum or simply disappears from the face of the earth!
Boris:
Well, what do you expect, Svety? Our president wants the world to think that his not-so-hidden dictatorship is really a democracy . . .
Svetlana: Hmmff ! Everyone knows that our so-called "freedoms" here are just a sham! He's just putting on a good show . . .
Boris:
That's right.... We live in an imacracy. Remember in the old days when everyone voted imacratically?
Svetlana:
Yeah .. for the ONLY candidate!
Both:
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Ah, the simpler days ...
Boris: But you know, Svety, we shouldn't worry too much about these journalists being killed. Afterall, in other countries ---with *real* democracies--- dead people show-up on the voter registration rolls all the time!
Both:
ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
