During and after a revolutionary - which does not mean violent - change of power it is unreasonable to expect the revolutionaries to honour those institutions that have betrayed the people, protect those institutions which have been the tools of their repression, or to respect those institutions which foster counter-revolution.
At the same time, it is foolish in the extreme to try to suppress every institution in which the capitalist class has some interest; being parasitic in its nature, there are many institutions which, though corrupted, serve a valuable role and can be redeemed.

The governance of the UK resembles democracy in much the same way as the Baseball World Series resembles an international sporting competition.
