      If the bourgeoisie decide elections through lobbying and media it isnt a democracy in a meaningful sense.

            It doesn’t work perfectly and humanity pushes back over time. The issue is the pace of technology is too fast for our ability to push back. I’m hopeful our good side will win but I’m afraid it will take deaths by the millions again for people to wake up and fight back against the real enemies among us.
