A reverse would violate three red lines that the current oligarchy will not budge on: * More sharing of political power with ethnic, class or cultural outgroup

A reverse would violate three red lines that the current oligarchy will not budge on: * More sharing of political power with ethnic, class or cultural outgroups * Less revenues for the oligarchy from land ownership, investment in healthcare and investment in finance (other investment sectors would do better, however) * Greater civil and criminal penalties for civil or criminal wrongdoing by oligarchs, their loved ones and their class allies (e.g. the affluenza case) Even installing something like Juche and losing internationally to China in every way is preferable to having any one of these go forward, at least to their perspective.
