There is a model for people winning freedom when they never had it before. It has been applied in some countries. It takes courage and solidarity, but people power can gain freedom. The most thoughtful writer on the model that works is Gene Glass of the Albert Einstein Institute. The institute has several different publications available for free download in multiple languages, http://www.aeinstein.org/organizationsde07.html http://www.aeinstein.org/organizationsde07.html among which I especially recommend From Dictatorship to Democracy: A Conceptual Framework for Liberation http://www.aeinstein.org/organizations/org/FDTD.pdf http://www.aeinstein.org/organizations/org/FDTD.pdf as a how-to guide for gaining freedom even when the dictators are willing to torture and kill to limit freedom. (I have seen one country make a successful transition from dictatorship to democracy largely by following this conceptual framework.)
