Truly repressive regimes don't go out easily.They can go broke like the Soviet Union, combined with a leader like Gorbachev realizing there's not point going on along the same path. They can be defeated in a war. They can lose the confidence of some or all of the army, like Egypt. On the other hand, there have been a few like Taiwan, South Korea, and Indonesia where they were fairly repressive, and yet gave up before they really had to. I don't really know why those worked. |
