As I say, revolution and overthrowing of an establishment regime does not necessarily mean things will turn out well.#Egypt in a disastrous situation - very little economic freedom, inflation is well over 100%, and the pound is sinking like a stone.— Prof. Steve Hanke (@steve_hanke) December 17, 2016
They are not, not at all, well in Egypt following two presidents being overthrown since the start of the Arab Spring.

Could it be different, as in an overthrow of a government, if it was an actual people's revolt?
ReplyDeleteI mean, without outside governments being behind them, like the good ol CIA?
Are there any revolts that have happened in the last 100 years that have not had an outside influence?
I would think maybe a revolt in Venezuela would be a plus, can't get much worse when you are already starving, but are the people there educated enough to replace it with anything different? Seems all they have known is socialism in one form or another.
Socialism and its close cousin - democracy - are spreading around the world like a bad disease. There may be ocasional set-backs, but this is going to play out until the world has a catastrophe worse than any since the flood.
