Even China has had a peaceful succession of leaders after their revolution, though they have not changed parties.
I support the right of people to decide their own government, and to use whatever method they think will work (though they may end up making enemies of the wrong people depending on their tactics). Lives, fortunes, and sacred honour... |
With all due respect to the nations involved: Iran's "revolution" is still ongoing, Romania's "revolution" was a revolution in name only - nothing really changed, and Latvia, Estonia and Lituania's struggles were for restoration - not really a revolution at all. Of all the "revolutions" mentioned, only the first Philippine revolution comes particularly close to actually being such.
A revolution is a dramatic change, not a merely a shift in direction, or a civil war. To date, the American Revolution is the only true and successful revolution.
