Meanings

1. (countable, uncountable) A democratic system or state considered to be inauthentic or inherently flawed; democracy that has descended into corruption, injustice, or absurdity.
   • This is crucial if we recognise that the crux of the democratic stateform is the constitutional right of the people to influence and determine how they are governed; how their representatives are chosen, and how that process can be conducted at intervals without fraudulent interference with the right of the people, without turning democracy into democrazy; into a chaotic and unruly form of government. 1986, Arthur Nzeribe, Nigeria: The Turning Point, Fourth Dimension, →ISBN, page 12:
