👉 In English, "bossism" is a term used to describe a situation where an individual or group of individuals hold power and control over others, often through coercion or intimidation. It can refer to any form of authoritarian rule that involves the use of violence or threats to maintain authority. The term was coined by political scientist Stuart Hall in his book "Power and Revolution," which argues that while modern democracies have become more democratic, they still lack a clear division between the ruling class and the governed.
