Meganarchy

Meganarchy: noun. A very deviated form of anarchy. In popular Aristotelian politics, there are three types of governments, each of which can deviate to a far worse form. Deviated royalty is tyranny, deviated aristocracy is oligarchy and constitutional governments that deviate become democracies. However, not much is known about Aristotle´s fourth deviated concept called meganarchy. Contained in his twice lost and once found book IX of Politics (which is currently still in one of the lost phases of its existence), is Aristotle´s explanation of how the already devious concept of anarchy devolves into meganarchy and then leads to the utter destruction of the "polis." According to Aristotle, however, meganarchy is only a transitional state and it can either lead to the utter destruction of social values in the whole world or to the destruction of the maganarchical society itself. At the end of the book, the author (allegedly) concludes that rather than living to see meganarchy, he would be willing to spend his whole life in a democratic society.
