    Right you are, the ruling classes have reserved democracy to themselves just as they have the means of production. Well, one thing leads to another....

    Ironic, ain't it? They invented it, alongside universal conscription, public taxation, and civil law... not to mention patriotic feeling and "public" capital markets. This is their national state at work. And now they hate democracy... or understand it so narrowly that it becomes simple figure of speech?

    Put a fork in us... we're done?

    Powdered wigs and leotards, next.
