    Nice quote, but not always true. In North Korea both kinds of revolution are kind of impossible

      No it would be totally possible. DPRK’s got the highest military per capita of any country, by far. Just stage a military coup with the CIA’s help, easy. The only reason it doesn’t happen is because they don’t want to. And why don’t they want to? Because maybe it’s not as bad over there as the west wants you to think.

        I mean that I didn’t realize that I was posting this on Hexbear.

        On the serious hand, I mean that North Koreans are too suppressed to ever stage a coup as they do not have a good enough way too organize it, like social media. Peaceful revolution is also impossible as it would be shut down immediately by the authorities.

        I got the point, but to me it sounded like the quote was rather meant as a general statement with Palestine only as an example. I agree that it applies with the Israel/Palestine situation. But not to the North Korean one in my opinion.
