You're misreading him. He's talking about the ability of an ideology and a system to correct itself, not that of the people it rules to choose a different society for themselves.

He is saying a revolution is required because the people can’t change things. I’m not sure, short of outright nihilism, how one could be more pessimistic that that.

  He's casting doubt that the problems can be solved through voting alone.

    Yes. That's pessimistic.

      About voting, sure. Not about the country at large.
