You mean that they're distracted by the lack of food so they didn't try and change the government that created this lack of food? lol I agree.
Guess people
with food, only get distracted by simpler things, preventing them from defending simpler rights. Probably why my 2 examples we're the 2 most powerful and richest countries in the world so as to be good comparisons as apposed to Somalia. lol

I'd be facinated if I disagreed with that at any point and you can show me how and where?
The reality is that the mundane BS and everyday distractions in capitalist democracy isn't motivational in terms of righting the wrongs that do occur. It's a fact. Somewhat disturbing that you don't see it. lol

Democracy works
better than the old (conventional) models (such as communism) cos people are selfish (study game theory) and cos they have enough to distract them from the bad things that
do happen.

lol Why, did you think I was referring to the US without considering the capitalist hold over us? (you didn't or you wouldn't have said "
strive towards getting 'things'") I think I'm not the one that is confused lol Name me a democracy that doesn't have a large capitalist element. You wont.

lol But they can be bettered, if idiots understand and acknowledge they can be improved, instead of rocking the flag and saying how great everything is.
