Now my curiosity is piqued. Could you please define your terms and explain why?

It's the number of unemployed, the number living in poverty. These people destabilize a society if their numbers grow too large. Especially a democratic society where the use of force is severely limited by the rule of law and the rule of law is determined - to a large extent - by counting heads.

OK, you've really lost me here.
Disaffected (or disgruntled) people voting in large numbers is destabilizing?
One possible conclusion that can be inferred from your statement is that FDR's 1932 election and the "New Deal" was somehow destabilizing.

Maybe my wife fed me my dense pills today, larry, but either you need to try again or you, sir, are no liberal.
