All the liberty that there is in the world today results from the
Dutch revolt, the Glorious Revolution, and the American
Revolution. No oppressive regimes, with the exception of the
Chinese, were produced by revolution.
Every successful revolution has been a major step forward for
human liberty (the Russian communist revolution was not a
revolution, but merely a coup by a little conspiracy. Same for
the Sandinista revolution). Even in revolutions that failed,
like the french, were the old system was swiftly restored by
Napoleon, the power of the old regime was fatally undermined.
The outcome of the recent revolutions in Somalia and Ethiopia may
be piss poor by Western standards, but compared to the rest of
Africa they are pretty good, and compared to the previous
regimes, they are wonderful.
