He quite simply tells us that only if the elite allows democracy will it happen. It seems Thailand is doomed to only get what they permit and we can only assume that the elite co-opted the military into its numbers to get the guns needed to keep it that way. A very accurate portrayal of the last 80 years. 

It's been proven time and time again the Elites don't govern for the people here in Thailand. They govern for themselves and line their pockets in the process.The brown paper envelopes start moving from the bottom to the top and always have. The military have their orders the mail must get thought come rain hail or true democracy nothing must change.

 

The author like most people pays the elites to microwave them via mobile technologies, and that is just the bitty bare tip of the iceberg. So, why would they be cooperating to create democracies anymore?  That was only ever there to sugar coat the raw bald exploitation and state of total and eternal war that the system wants to wage. Game over and people are going to the complete mind-control body control slaughter in 2020 with the 5g internet of things. You become the thing in that scenario which nearly no one sees coming.
