Miltocracy

Miltocracy is a political and social system where military leaders have significant authority and control over governmental decisions and processes. In this system, the military often plays a dominant role in politics, sometimes sidelining civilian governance. Miltocracies can arise during periods of instability or conflict, where military force is viewed as necessary for order and security. While some see this as a way to maintain stability, others criticize it for limiting democratic practices and civil rights, leading to potential abuses of power and lack of accountability.
