Chopocracia

A system of government based on being chopo (a derogatory Dominican term for someone perceived as low class, vulgar, or uncultured). Hierarchical positions are earned through the worst human qualities, prioritizing anti-values, lack of education, and incompetence over merit. Chopocracia is linked to a parasitic state where officials are chosen based on campaign contributions or favors owed to sponsors, paid for with state resources. It perpetuates ignorance and poverty to secure votes from an electorate that is kept from choosing better leaders. In this context, chopo represents a lack of scruples and dignity.

The Dominican congress, the Dominican military, the PRD and PLD political parties, and the PLD deputy who physically attacked a congressional employee are examples of Chopocracia.
