Democracy and Mobocracy are two distinct terms with different concepts and methodologies. The primary difference between the two is that democracy is the rule by the people, while mobocracy is the rule or government by a mob. In a democratic system, the population has the power and the right to elect their representatives, whereas in a mobocratic system, people do not have the power to elect their representatives as the mob reserves the right to form the government and rule the people.
## Key Takeaways
– Democracy is a system of government by the whole population, typically through elected representatives, while mobocracy is the rule or government by a mob.
– In a democratic form of government, representatives elected by the people control public affairs, while in a mobocratic form of government, the mob that forms the government controls public affairs.
– A democratic government aims for a classless and tolerant society with equal rights for all, while a mobocratic government is not classless nor tolerant, with the mob holding all the power and rights.
