>>490412 (OP)>I wonder why people almost never assassinate the wealthy class and the special interest group leaders.That's not true, during feudalism, rulers and their entourage got killed frequently, some of that was intrigue in ruling circles but a significant part was people exercising democracy by lethal means. Many kings and queens got un-elected by "cutting edge technology".
I think that the introduction of bourgeois democracy made systems bend enough to the demands of populations that lethal democracy became uncommon.
