The United States is one of the few places where power was not hereditary and people fought the establishment to gain concessions.

But there's nothing like people who are in America bitching about how bad it is when they're trying to recreate. What's outside the U.S.? Because say what you want about the U.S., we've had our problems, but as corruption goes, we were one of the few places where you didn't just hereditarily get all the power and then everybody had to bow down to you. People had shootouts with the railroad magnets. I mean, people went to war with the establishment and stood up to it and got some concessions.
