Any time 'democracy' is mentioned (always by the kleptocratic, oligarchic ruling class), it's an attempt to push something dubious at best.

Probably not. Camps cost money to keep running and if there is no outside sponsorship ala the US prison system then a bullet at muzzle velocity is far cheaper.

This is a more likely scenario post "revolution" however. Humming and hawing while dragging their feet is the more likely course of action beforehand.
