I agree with your sentiment. To my knowledge, no elite class as a whole has ever voluntarily surrendered power, though individuals have stepped down to save their necks. It is fanciful to hope that might change, I know, but I believe a great deal of unrest and violence could be avoided if just a few people would step up, or down, as the case may be. I admit to wishing to spare the common man as much suffering as possible at the hands of the kleptocratic kakistocrats. While I don't harbor any illusions about the moral integrity of the "elite" class as a whole, I do hope (likely vainly) there is just one decent human being among them who could actually make a positive difference.
