OCHLARCHY — [Noun] Government or control by a violent or unruly mob. From the Greek ochlo- ("mob, crowd") and -archy ("rule, government"). Unlike "ochlocracy" (which suggests fleeting, anarchic eruptions) or "democracy" (which implies orderly consensus), ochlarchy is the institutionalization of collective frenzy—a sustained reign of the many who have abandoned reason for rage. It is the guillotine’s blade falling in rhythmic succession, the torchlit procession of vigilantes with makeshift weapons, the slow erosion of courts into kangaroo tribunals. The mob, once unleashed, does not dissipate; it codifies its madness.
