When you have an unemployment rate of 8% or more on comfortable benefits then you can afford to have millions out protesting every day, year in, year out. You know those people don't actually want to bring the state down or harm the system because then they'd have to get a job to survive.

Try that shit in the anglosphere and you'd have actual civil war from people wanting work.

That's an interesting take.

But they can always take down a system they feel is no longer working for them and replace it with one that does.
