A term originating from Algerian slang, combining the words "Kahl" and "kratos." It refers to the rule of a generation known as "Kohoul," which are typically associated with being boomers or older individuals.

Kahlocracy is characterized by the influence and control exerted by these older individuals who often exhibit resistance to economic liberalization, favoring a more regulated and protected market.

While the term is rooted in Algerian slang, it can be more broadly applied to describe similar dynamics in other contexts where an older generation holds significant sway over societal and political affairs, often shaping the direction of policies and ideologies.

The term captures the prevailing sentiment that this generation is underwhelming in public offices, tending to cling to authority and privileges based on their claimed participation in the war of independence.

Use it to describe any situation where the old guard reigns supreme, holding tight to their power while the rest of us roll our eyes.
