DiogenesLamp on the word "slavocracy" : "I merely pointed out that the construction of the word doesn't make any sense, because it implies that the Slaves are the rulers.
Even the Etymology dictionary said the construction is "irregular" (meaning wrong) and it's origin was from the 1840s. "

There were many colorful political words from those days, of which some get repeated here, on occasion.

I’m not trying to put forth a tu quoque argument as you are with this nonsense, I am merely pointing out that propaganda has been going on a long time in this conflict, and that the term “slaveocracy” was intended from the beginning to be a form of propaganda in the manner that “anti-choice” is also a deliberate misstatement of the other sides’ position.
