"Don’t set out to raze all shrines—you’ll frighten men. Enshrine mediocrity—and the shrines are razed."

While this ideology is mostly a joke, one could make the argument that the most average person in society is its best representative and as such should control the nation. It could be said that it is a less extreme form of Kakistocracy (which wants society to be ruled by the least competent, as opposed to just the mediocre).
