I like the analogy but Orwell's book, Animal Farm, suggests that after the
war to displace the authoritarian regime and the incomers have fought each
other for succession then the new ruling class become their own despots
with equally  unwieldy and unequal  regimes.

Real life suggests this has been so for various revolutions.

Education strikes me as being the way forward and we may be nearing halfway
to that in UK, and I can vouch for the fact that petty corruption and
nepotism thrive here.
