Pornocracy, saeculum obscurum
     "Saeculum Obscurum" is a German 'extreme' metal band whose new album Into the Depths of Oblivion has recieved some favorable reviews. They took their name precisely because of the following classic meaning.

     Historically the Latin phrase for 'dark age' refers to the century or so in Rome, from around 850 (possibly beginning with the "Cadaver Synod") to 1050 AD, where everybody who was anybody was so corrupt the civil government, as well as the Vatican, that both essentially ceased to function in any meaningful way and was only saved after foreign intervention cleaned house, including running one of the worst Popes in history, Benedict IX (he had been installed three times!), out of the country.

     The English word is from the Greek term for "a government of prostitutes", or "harlots rule", or something of that nature. In our current case, it is a fair description of the majority of elected officials in the US Government where those in office, as well as those seeking said offices sell their influence, vote, morals, and everything else possible for fun and profit, and campaign donations. What it boils down to is that not only are they Whores, they are criminals. See: Congress.

     The term Does Not Mean any of the following: 'government sponsored erotica', 'the E-board of the Sex Workers Union', 'smut-site-webmasters who are running for State Assembly as a Democrat', 'a TV reality show based on an sex film producer', 'President Clinton's memoir', 'angry German death metal campaign songs', or even 'Cicciolina for Prime Minister'. See: Cicciolina, and related topics.

I can't believed nobody has disagreed with me.

so, what kind of government do you think the usa's government is and explain...

Officially, the United States is supposed to be a representative democracy - that is, a country where we peons elect our betters to represent us in the halls of power....and if you believe that - *looks over towards Justice* - Justice has some swampland he'd like to trade with you...

In reality, American government could best be described as a "government of whores"...or a plutocratic pornocracy, either way...

You hit it right on the nose. The United States is a plutocracy. Any type of pretending that it is a republic is just to keep the people happy and in the dark. 

It would seem that the original intention was to avoid the Aristotelian democracy (rule by many in their own interest). This was supposed to be the polity ("the mean between the extremes of oligarchy and democracy"). Unfortunately, this doesn't work out because over time money and its corrupting properties gets concentrated to the point where money greatly influences elections, and therefore chooses who can or cannot run for office and hope to have a chance at winning. We come to the point where not unlike in The Prince  when Cesare Borgia says that even if he is not able to make anyone he wants the Pope, he can prevent anyone who he doesn't want. Meaning that money controls who cannot win in running for office. We've reached the point where the United States is in in the Aristotelian oligarchy (aka rule by the rich). Congressional members have at least an 85% reelection rate, while having the lowest satisfaction ratings in history and while peddling pro-corporate doctrine. The middle class shrinks as wages stagnate and corporations pull in more profits than ever.


I mean Citizen's United is a thing if there was any doubt left. The United States is also the most stand up capitalist country on the planet so it is to be expected.
