There are five types of illiberal democracies: Bonapartist, Fascist, Democratic Centralist, People's Democratic, and Machiavellian. The Bonapartians believe that when the authoritarian leader is elected he should have the confidence of the people and that the enlightened authority that is responsive to the needs and clamour of the people.<ref>Napoleon was elected as Emperor of the French by a tally exceeding 99%.[106] As with the Life Consulate two years earlier, this referendum produced heavy participation, bringing out almost 3.6 million voters to the polls.

One could argue that the Bonapartist conception of an empire is an [[File:Emon.png]] Electocratic monarchy, where referendums are used to impose enlightened absolutism, but ending popular participation afterwards, whether direct or representative.
The Fascists on the other hand reject the conventional concept of democracy as in a majoritarian democracy that assumes equality of citizens and rather has it replaced by a corporatist representation of state-sanctioned corporate groups that would unite people into interest groups to address the state that would act in the interest of the general will of the nation and thus exercise an orderly form of popular rule.
Democratic Centralism is a practice in which political decisions reached by voting processes are binding upon all members of the political party. Although mainly associated with Leninism, wherein the party's political vanguard composed of professional revolutionaries practised democratic centralism to elect leaders and officers as well as to determine policy through free discussion, then decisively realised through united action, democratic centralism has also been practised by social democratic parties.
People's Democracy believes that a multiparty system can exist within a Marxism-Leninist government. It emerged from the Anti Fascist movements within ML circles. It was deemed needed by some to form a popular front against fascists and bourgeois reactionaries. This system was used mostly across Eastern Europe, but also in other countries like Nepal. It was also used by non-Marxist, yet still (nominally) socialist countries like Syria, with the National Progressive Front.
Machiavellians believe that representative democracy (a "commonwealth republic") is inherently oligarchic and for this reason embrace it. They believe such a government results in power being concentrated in the hands of a bureaucratic elite which utilizes democratic institutions to stay in power. They believe such a bureaucracy will manipulate and cater to the masses as well, meaning their interests are incidentally aligned with the common folk.
