      Perfect face for a controlled opposition: old, weak-looking, peaceful in the face of extreme violence and fascism, never achieved any meaningful political success for years, calming yet ineffective, projecting an image of resistance while ensuring no substantial change occurs, suppress genuine dissent by emasculating opposition into harmless and useless protests.

      He’s only relevant because he present a façade of resistance in order to disarm public outrage and prevent mobilization for systemic change.

      He’s so dangerous for the ruling entities yet was never removed. Why?
