I think a lot of the time we get frustrated with "people" because we assume that change happens in democracies when enough people want it. So we conclude the problem must be that enough people don't want it. The bastards.

No, historically democratic change happens when organisations and movements have made change happen. They are needed as instruments for people's desires.

We're currently living in an era with advanced machinery of government, but almost no organisation for democracy.
