"The Pianist" by Roman Polanski is a film based on the true story of WΕadysΕaw Szpilman, A Polish and Jewish composer who weathered through life in Nazi occupied Warsaw. A beautiful piece of anti-fascist art with Amazing acting.
more than relevant to what has been unfolding in a west Asian country.

You're saying an extremely small minority of land owners with slaves didn't want the majority of people to have a democratic say? And it would be a bad idea to change it seems to be your implication? Now isn't that something

Yes one should have an advantage, probably the one with more people because I reiterate it is not land that partakes in the democratic process, it is people

How is that fair? People are affected, not land and a democracy of the people(not the land AKA the landowners) would inherently be more democratic

If you consider yourself left wing, consider reading βBlackshirts and Redsβ by Michael Parenti about how the elite chose and supported fascism, I believe more than relevant to today.
