I tho...Hey! I learned something today, so thanks.<br /><br />I thought that I knew what "anocracy" meant based on the modern take (https://www.baysidecolonics.com.au/single-post/2018/12/29/whos-in-charge) on the Aesop fable of the dispute among the parts of the body as to which of them should be in charge. In the modern version, all of the other body parts make fun of the anus's claim to rule, but after the anus goes on strike for three days, they all submit and bow to his rule. This is the etiologic myth that explains why, wherever we look, assholes are in charge. Livy also had a version of the cleaner, classical version in which it's the stomach rather than the anus that wins the contest. Shakespeare has Menenius Agrippa use this in the first scene of Coriolanus.<br /><br />At any rate, no, anocracy is not rule by the anuses, but rather the absence of rule, sort of like anarchy. You learn something every day.
