Nothing has ever changed in the history of mankind
Even though the majority don't want, only the very few will stand up and say NO
When more than one stands up we get a change and more bcome confident. It's happening right now in parts of the world.
One thing that has changed so much is communication technology, and apart from North Korea the world is now available to be talked to and able to see! I don't think the dictatorships of old are or will have happy times again. As times move on more and more will rebel.
There will always be the elite but they won't , and don't, have the power they once did!
