    Yes, that is the constant attempt of the powerful to remain so. That is a constant no matter what. The entire point of democracy is to upset that balance.

    Are we a (fledgling and flailing) democracy, or just a failed experiment?

      We are and have always been a bourgeoisie democracy; a dictatorship of capital.

      The struggle against this is a struggle against the very essence of America.
