I don't know the exact dates that are relevant here, but as recently as the late 80s people were bucking totalitarian oppression via violence.
- logfromblammo 11y agoBouazizi's fire ended up burning quite a few government officials, even outside of Tunisia. By my count, it started six rebellions, prompted five government reforms, and Libya's Qaddafi got brutally murdered in public. Libya, Syria, and Iraq are still in a state of civil war. So more recently than the late 80s. As recently as right frickin now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Spring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Spring
