All social revolutions fail. All they ever do is change the names of the players at the top and their titles. The reasons for the social revolution continue to grind as though nothing had ever happened. Witness Mexico, Russia, China, Vietnam, and the rest. A tiny elite hoarding most of the benefits while that majority get the shaft. When this happens over and over and over, it's time to realize that all systems are prone to abuse and that only a vigilant populace can stop it.

You can change the system all you like, but unless you have people paying attention, and I should say pressuring legislatures, similar results will occur. There will be a concentration of power at the top, which leads to outsized benefits for those at the top.
