      The bourgeoisie will not allow their power to be voted away. There’s a reason the choices in the voting booth are always so narrow; you’re only allowed to vote for a candidate that they’ve pre-approved and bankrolled. Vote or don’t, it doesn’t actually matter.

      you could say the same of every democracy that has ever existed, and yet they did (and do) exist.

      I have a feeling we would disagree as to which countries are actually democracies.
