"The demagoguery is the art of drag and enchant the masses, according to Aristotle leads to tyranny or oligarchy." The definition is certainly not ours, but Prof. Giovanni Sartori, a major Italian political scientists, always sharp and clear in identifying and defining social and political phenomena (pseudo or such).
