The starting point is always bad before a revolution. Otherwise nobody would revolt. Revolutions almost never turn out well from what I can see. Opportunists will try to step in to grab power, and the masses are easily swayed.
- lapcat 4y ago> The starting point is always bad before a revolution. Otherwise nobody would revolt. Well, it's a spectrum. The OP refers to the American revolution: "We're quite the anomaly." But obviously the starting point here was a lot better than in Russia, Cuba, or Iran. > Revolutions almost never turn out well from what I can see. What would you say about America? Or England? Democracy has to be created and established somehow.
- andromeduck 4y agoA lot of those revolutions almost worked out though - and with a less educated populace. Though I suppose social fabric/cohesion matters just as much as education.
