Before the farmer died, he asked his son: "The pig complains that the feed is too poor, the cow complains that the work is too heavy, and the chicken complains that the coop is too dusty. What should we do?"
The son replied: "Give the pig better feed, have the cow do lighter work, and clean the chicken coop."
The farmer shook his head and said, "You just need to do two things:
1. Tell them there are wolves outside.
2. Give them the choice to vote for either you or your wife to manage them, making them feel that this family is in their hands."

It’s always a little sad imo seeing democracy blamed for the conflicts inherent to capitalism.
