- ice109 9y agoare you talking about the october revolution or all of the fall of the soviet union or the revolutions in the soviet friendly states? because none of those fit first-world (literally) or western.
- Spooky23 9y agoI was specifically thinking of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Point being, however you scope it nations and empires fall. There's no magic that says the the United Kingdom or France will be here 200 years from now.

- tzs 9y agoSome examples of modern incidents in first-world western nations where anger has built up sufficiently in a local area or region for crowds to violently go after people: Los Angeles riot, 1992. Paris, May 1, 2017 riot. (May day protests also turned into riots in several other cities that day). December, 2015, Corsican riots. August, 2016 riot in Kalgoorlie, Australia.
