    in a multiparty “democracy,” (bourgeois class dictatorship) political parties usually refuse to fix problems because that would erode their platform that they run on forcing them to invest their resources (capital) into coming up with a new platform that might not be as appealing, which is high risk and strategically untenable, so instead they keep implementing half measures and letting their opponents occasionally roll back reforms so they can keep voters in thrall to them indefinitely by holding their civil rights and safety hostage.
