kakistocracy

From Blogenlust, a wonderful word kakistocracy

SYLLABICATION: kak·is·toc·ra·cy
PRONUNCIATION: kk-stkr-s, käk-
NOUN: Inflected forms: pl. kak·is·toc·ra·cies
Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.
ETYMOLOGY: Greek kakistos, worst, superlative of kakos, bad; see caco– + –cracy.

Are we a Demoracy or a Kakistocracy? Or is it possible to be both?
