This is exactly how they want you to think. It’s disempowering. It’s a kind of fatalistic politics of inevitability that keeps the masses docile and resigned.
What keeps the working class docile and resigned is making them think their bourgeois “democracy” isn’t rigged against them in the first place.
Once someone understands that, they can develop class consciousness and organize to eventually to forcibly change the system to a better one; that has always been the most successful way people have changed their nations for the better.
Bengali liberation war/revolution in 1972 against the prior oppressive US-backed west-Pakistani government.
Cuban revolution in 1959 to overthrow the prior US-backed military dictatorship.
Russian October revolution in 1917 to overthrow the prior tsarist system.
Vietnamese wars/revolutions against the Japanese, French, and the US.
Iranian Islamic revolution in 1979 to overthrow the prior US-backed monarchy.
Yemeni revolution in 2014 to overthrow the prior US and Saudi-backed puppet government.
Etc. etc
Revolutions to overthrow the prior system entirely have always been more successful than trying to change the system from within, cuz they’re usually designed to prevent that from being possible to begin with. And all these revolutions have indeed successfully drastically improved people’s lives in their respective nations, though alot of them are currently heavily sanctioned or outright attacked by the countries that ruled them.
Also interesting how most of these oppressive system were US-backed; no wonder then that US media tries to portray their current governments as negatively as possible lol.

Do you have an example of that forcibly changing society to the better stuff? Preferable one that was later than French revolution.
