The use of will and testament can be said to be an example (even if minor) of necrocracy, as a person dictates what should be done after they are dead. A notable example is [[File:3princ.png]] [[Tridemism|ROC]], where Dr. Sun Yat-Sen's Last Will and Testament (國父遺囑) influenced the 1947 constitution.<ref>[https://law.moj.gov.tw/ENG/LawClass/LawAll.aspx?pcode=A0000001 Constitution of the Republic of China (Taiwan)]: "The National Assembly of the Republic of China, by virtue of the mandate received from the whole body of citizens, in accordance with the teachings bequeathed by Dr. Sun Yat-sen in founding the Republic of China, and in order to consolidate the authority of the State, safeguard the rights of the people, ensure social tranquility, and promote the welfare of the people, does hereby establish this Constitution, to be promulgated throughout the country for faithful and perpetual observance by all."</ref>. Currently in [[File:Cball-Taiwan.png]] Taiwan, Sun's Last Will and Testament accompanies his portrait and the Flag of the Republic of China to be displayed during official events and in government buildings except for the Ministry of Defence, through the public reading of Sun's Last Will and Testament is no longer practiced. |

Latest revision as of 11:45, 27 August 2024
Let's take a walk to where the vultures roam
Feast upon the bodies, clean them down to the bone
Strip away the cartilage and rip out the eyes
This is what will happen to you when you die
Necrocracy (rule of the dead) is a form of government which is run by the dead (how exactly varies on the variants). An example of a Necrocracy is in North Korea[1][2] and historically the
chanka culture, in
Peru. Necrocracy is usually an off-compass
Gerontocracy.
Variants
Ceremonial necrocracy
The term necrocracy has been used to refer to a type of government in which a leader remains the head of state even after they died, akin to the role of the monarch in a ceremonial monarchy. An example of a ceremonial necrocracy includes the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea in which Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il are given the title of eternal leaders (eternal president and eternal chairman respectively) of North Korea.[1][2]
Rule through Will and Testament
The use of will and testament can be said to be an example (even if minor) of necrocracy, as a person dictates what should be done after they are dead. A notable example is ROC, where Dr. Sun Yat-Sen's Last Will and Testament (國父遺囑) influenced the 1947 constitution.[3]. Currently in
Taiwan, Sun's Last Will and Testament accompanies his portrait and the Flag of the Republic of China to be displayed during official events and in government buildings except for the Ministry of Defence, through the public reading of Sun's Last Will and Testament is no longer practiced.
Tradition as the democracy of the dead
According to G.K. Chesterton, the usage of
tradition within politics can be said to be the "democracy of the dead".[4]
Tradition may be defined as an extension of the franchise [to vote]. Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death. Democracy tells us not to neglect a good man’s opinion, even if he is our groom; tradition asks us not to neglect a good man’s opinion, even if he is our father. I, at any rate, cannot separate the two ideas of democracy and tradition; it seems evident to me that they are the same idea. We will have the dead at our councils. The ancient Greeks voted by stones; these shall vote by tombstones. It is all quite regular and official, for most tombstones, like most ballot papers, are marked with a cross.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1908), Orthodoxy p. 43
Rule of the undead
The most literal, and least possible conception of necrocracy. In such a system, power is concentrated within various types of undead creations such as zombies, skeletons, and creepers ghosts. It may be a whole faction of the undead, or a faction of mostly alive beings with a dead leader. An example of the former is Dracula's army from Castlevania, while an example of the latter is Imperium of Man from Warhammer 40k.
Personality
For the first design, Necrocracy is portrayed as a zombie, who has a taste for brains and runs for other ideologies.
For the second design, Necrocracy is portrayed as a ghost, scaring the others with a boo or in some cases a jumpscare. Anarcho-Egoism doesn't like spooks.
