From this contradictory pair of directives comes both the churning stasis and the occasional dynamic transformation of societies. Actually the masses, who have modest expectations, are rarely energized, as, say, were Indonesians against the communists in 1965. What occurs is the amplification of unrest and disorder among the politists, the politically active element. Every country is composed of politicians, politists, and people. An ambitions leader, who thinks only of his personal fortunes, may must still depend upon the politists constant propensity to igigrute a critis.
Mass apathy can vanish suddenly.
Disorders among leaders and politsts inexorably follow. As if real poverty and injustice were not sufficient, definitions of them are expanded and the goals of society become all the more nureal since they are accompanied by increasing social instablity. It seems practically impossible in most dystrocracies to stem the rising tide of expectancies. Initially the technically advanced armaments of the plutocracy greatly impressed the dystrocratic countries. Armaments were followed by cheap and meretricious goods of certain kinds, and these in turn by hundreds of films from Hollywood showing how luxurious and irresponsible life might be.
