well frankly, i've heard first-hand accounts of the events i mentioned,
and so am inclined to draw from those, in sympathy, perhaps, to the people
i know who were
affected by those regimes, -
as i posted, a recent issue of Foreign Affairs pretty well substantiates
how i can "talk through my hat", so to speak - heh heh - nothing like a
little more information eh? (ahm, 'correct me if i'm wrong... but...') -
oops!
i stand (sit, really) corrected.
the examples you mention are valuable, and you're right - collective
actions are not
always against totalitarian regimes, but perhaps i am sentimental about
'fighting the good fight' - that is, any rebellion that i approve of. ha
ha.
how utterly unscientific of me! agh.
and of course, history is a composition of these struggles, and so the
meanings of these events change in relation to kinds of cultural necessity
- your example of the Russian revolution is a good one, 2 be sure.
So, yes indeed-
what _about_ Chile, Guatemala?
