The site functions as a political handbook outlining the proposal and criticizing the workings of representative democracy today.

Origins and development
According to the site, Ontocracia.com was created in June 2013. The author says the project grew out of readings in Greek history, culture, and philosophy, including Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, as well as José Ortega y Gasset’s The Revolt of the Masses. The site has been revised over time. The handbook describes itself as exclusively political and directed at people concerned about the situation in Spain and the world.
