Well, in such cases, if the "people involved" are unhappy about having
to "tremendously suffer", there is always Brecht's solution: "to
dissolve the people and elect another."



Brecht,  "The solution"



After the uprising of the 17th June

The Secretary of the Writers Union

Had leaflets distributed

Stating that the people

Had forfeited the confidence of the government

And could win it back only

By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier

In that case for the government

To dissolve the people

And elect another?
