      Total revolutions tend to eat their children. Those who are already the most vulnerable in the old system tend to be in the most precarious situation in the new one as well. What we actually need is careful and gradual reform, based on democratic principles, instead of revoluzzers imposing their will upon the rest of the population, which is how most revolutions end.

        My country is literally an oligarchy, not a democracy. The oligarchs don’t want to gradually reform based on democratic principles. But they sure want us to think they will.
