In general I agree, but the key point is that that is only true until either those basic needs are meet or the promise was shown to be a lie.



Look at China, so long as the economy is good the people mostly don't care about communism/politics.


That's very skewed, at the moment yes Chinese people aren't interested in demands, but you can 100% already get a taste that if the ccp doesn't back off / reform certain areas of society people will demand change.
