I think Horse's is about right. My response to Mary's point - it not so much what democracy looks like, but it's what democracy looks like when it's broken. (The problem lies in assumptions about consumption and growth, and the addiction to "winning" instead of quality.)
The problem with the disaffected "revolutionaries" is they can show their frustration, but someone still has to work out what the fix looks like. Winding the clock back and starting again is unlikely to be the best option (for those doing the protesting, or anyone else).
