Explain, please.  The government of the Revolution of 1946 did have
plenty of socialists in the coalition, but none of them survived when
Magloire took over.  And Magloire wasn't the problem, but he didn't
last long.

Leaders screwing the people is a pretty common problem, and it's why
representative democracy is such a good thing.  It's not sufficient to
prevent that, but it's necessary.
