This is a technique used by the bourgeoisie to quell any revolutionary activity. Examples of this in then US were the unrest brought about during the racial tensions in the 60's. Blacks were given more access to the institutions of the US and they settled for it and today they are not that much better off than when it began. The same can be said for the student unrest of the 60's and 70's. The unrest was quelled by the 18 yr old vote, an attempt to get the young involved with the bourgeoisie and their programs--it worked the youth jumped on the bandwagon and turned into the ultra-conservatives of today. THEY CAVED TO THE CRAP!
None of these programs gave any real power to the people, just assimulated them into the bourgeoisie and in essence killed any revolutionary movement being born.
