Boy that's some incentive to see things a different way. Coercion and threats...
Pointing out revolution is inevitable under certain circumstances does not a threat make. The possibility of a illiberal revolution (wouldn't say large scale violence is likely) should be some incentive for the elite to give back a bit. But I don't see them doing it. Historically the elite simply can't imagine why anyone would seriously want to change anything. They assume what has happened for a long time will happen for ever. Until they are deposed -- and then they try distance themselves from the old regime (like the opportunists they are) like anyone is going to buy that.
