      Maybe, unless the replacement is immediately worse based on who seizes control. It’s the devil you know vs the one you don’t.

        No - I was saying that if you change the ruling class without changing the system the power again gets distributed a bit more evenly manner (eg USA 70 years ago vs USA today - same shit but slightly better wealth distribution).

        Ofc not modifying the system just means the incentives & rules don’t change so you end up with same problems (or same magnitude of problems that never fully went away).

        Again USA example, if everyone with over 10m moneys got that surplus distributed to others (fair-ish or not, ofc not perfect) nobody would immediately seize power, megacorps would get new management, politicians would be less sponsored, people had better lives & more free time & options (which includes getting involved in politics, actively or by voting, & seeking a job they enjoy).

        Changing the system (so not what described immediately above) however would be a question if for a better system or if its just a power grab.
