This is basically it, why would the ruling class waste the resources to even try for 100% agreement? The moment the left gains, or has potential to gain, even the slightest sliver of power, watch the ruling class deploy their mass resources to squash us back to irrelevance. I only clearly realised this when the very popular Bernie/Corbyn campaigns were so deliberately choked despite major support of the base.
In some way the allowed existence of places like this has a useful propaganda value for the ruling class. It allows them to go maintain a facade of political pluralism and liberty and make their rule look consensual.
Don't forget that we have no power. That seems to me, to be a main reason why we exist.
