29. Change and concessions are not the same thing

I see the 'sides' as very different than you do, but I'll answer in your terms.

Neither of the 'sides' was open to change. One of them happened to be in power when things got to the breaking point, they were forced to offer some concessions which, as I stated, were not fundamental changes and were not long-lasting. Those concessions were offered as a way to avoid fundamental change, and to keep capitalism afloat.

And it worked. And look where we are today. :shrug:
