ALAS, THEIR SUFFERING NEVER ENDS!
A system changes with such bloodshed! Such wanton killing of innocent lives to bring about societal transformation, a revolution in the existing order. An order builds up over centuries and gets so deeply entrenched that to uproot it overnight calls for the sweeping off of an entire class of people holding the reins of exploitation of the masses. And the masses suffer too as the revolutionaries gain control of the system to unleash a new terror, the terror of revolution. Primrose hopes of liberty and liberation from the old tyranny are supplanted by the despair of tyranny of the Revolutionary Council or the Party or the dictator who usurps power in the wake of revolution. Thus, the masses suffer evermore and their misery never ends. It is only the slow awakening of power within the populace through education and the enlightenment thereof that democratises society and despite the ills of such distributed people's power, tyranny is checked and a humane form of governance evolved whereby maximum liberty and public welfare are ensured. Now exploitation hides its face but in secret carries on under the cover of law and carefully crafted economic modes and methods that allows capital to run riot looting the masses unto penury.
