WHAT DOES ISOCRACY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Isocracy

An isocracy is a form of government where all citizens have equal political power. The term derives from Greek "ἴσος" meaning "equal" and "κρατεῖν" meaning "to have power", or "to rule". An Isocracy expands from the legal right of Isonomia to political and economic systems, from equality of law, to equality in governance. To achieve this, an isocracy both combines and expands features of liberal rights and those in democratic rule. According to the nascent political movement of the same name an Isocracy embodies individual autonomy by extension Informed consent and natural resources as the source of public income. Further, an isocracy claims to avoid the common criticisms of democracy by limiting public governance to the public sphere and private governance to the private sphere. With protections embodied through constitutions, thus not being subject to the vagaries of popular opinion, an isocracy is secular, republican, and does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex etc. In terms of organization, an isocracy argues for a federal network, argues towards mutualist economic organisation.
