I don’t disagree. But also, I’m old enough that I have seen many alternative governments proposed. Each time society lets go of a deal that could unblock it, the next deal is worse. And the status-quo is also getting worse. It’s not rare to find a refused deal emerge in the status quo ten years later, without the potential good sides.
too specific. Of course, the establishment won’t self-destroy. But it might use the pattern of “abolish an institution that’s in their way under the pretense of the need for radical change and the unreformability of the target”. It might be, I don’t know, the Constitution, or something else.
