"The best you can hope for is social democracy"

Kenman :

In other words, if you want change, don’t rely on politicians or political solutions. Electoral politics will not get you very far. Real change will require organizing, which will probably take several decades. This is the best we can hope for.

You might be right but that doesn’t mean people should stop calling for it to happen. Not disagreeing with the message just hope all its meant to do is wake peoples expectations up and not discouraging people to ask for more than what they can expect in our current circumstances…
