dictatorships don't work, period. pakistan won't last, neither will america. revolutions, on the other hand..
revolutions dont work that well either- if your talking about the peasents roevolt or something simmlar where the people FORCEFULLY take over. Other kind of revolutions work though. (They work better than dictatorships usually though)
i dunno where this idea of "peasants" is coming to mind; i am most certainly not a peasant. i own a house, a car, and am self-employed, like many many angered americans... i think because people have trouble getting along well enough to gather up the kind of courage it takes to use force on their own gov't, you may have a point. but, strength in numbers, an upset crowd unified by one common affliction (in America's case, poverty-- lack of healthcare, fair wages, jobs, and being overtaxed) can and does impact the political realm very intensly through grassroots media, demonstrations, and even in some cases, yes, force. so i'll have to disagree with you.
Revolutions don't last either, not even as long as people think they do. Did Lenin survive the Communist Revolution?
But they only leave behind another government, and another question... Do you like dictatorships? Yes or Yes?
Your knowledge of history is vast and unfathomable. Please, point out the grand presidents of pre-American history, show us rich and prospering capitalist nations.
