      Many countries have successfully overthrown previous governments and implemented new ones. It depends what you mean by ‘successful’.

          There will be people who thought it was successful, and people who thought it was unsuccessful, in every revolution. You’d need to clarify who ‘they’ are.

          And as for me, I’m not sure there’s anything we can do about this, even with a revolution - at least with such a small number of us that actually care. If the majority actually wanted to change from the status quo, maybe then a revolution could work.

      Well, I mean, historically, the USA had a very successful revolution in that they have become the greatest world power nowadays…

      Even if they are a capitalist crazed two party nation, where a majority struggle to survive and they have to pay for the basic human right of healthcare, all in the name of some “free market” to help the rich get richer at their own expense.

        So, you are saying we should emulate the United States? Are you following this conversation?

          That’s not what I said. I gave an example of a “successful” revolution.

            In the conversation on which successful country to emulate. I think the point is that one doesn’t exist that’s been successful. It’s a societal filter.
