Mediocracy

Mediocracy

Mediocracy is a situation which can occur in a democracy in which mediocre people prevail. The society is then subordinated to a quasi-egalitarian ideology in which words and ideas are redefined by mediocre people, to be convenient for mediocre people.

Russian novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was a frequent critic of mediocracy in contemporary Western countries.
