First of all, “transformative” is the word I used, intentionally. I don’t know if it’s typical or advisable to try to judge the “success” of a revolution 10 years out. That the revolutions have been met by counter-revolutions doesn’t negate the fact that they changed the trajectory of the countries concerned. And inspired movements and strategies elsewhere, too. > Most of the places impacted by this “spring” […] I wonder if you appreciate just how long that list might be. For instance, I believe Arab Spring strongly influenced Occupy Wall Street. Which kicked off the American discourse about wealth and income inequality and added the “99%” and “1%” to the lexicon. Which had a host of follow-on results (rise of Bernie Sanders…contrast with moderate Dems like Hillary…Dems not seen as doing enough to help inequality…losing to Trump)
