    A revolution will never happen and if it did we would just end up with some lunatic in charge. A power vacuum always attracts the people you do not want at the top. We’d just end up with some fascist system again.

      Democracy went away for 1500 years, then France tried it and reverted to Empire.

      Now most people live in democracies.

      How exactly did that happen? Educate us

      We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
