    Democracy doesnt mean progress. it means majority rule. in China in 1989 (this song being '92), democracy had seemed imminent, and that would coincidentally have been progress, by western standards.

      I suppose an argument could be made that this Trump victory was more democratic than his previous in that he won the popular vote and didn't have to rely on the Electoral College.

    Yes. Then Cohen had it right? Even more so, more incisively, in 'There is a War' from 1974.
