I’ll be on the Jerry Doyle
Show this afternoon talking about events on the ground and in
the governments of Ukraine and Venezuela , and my
suggestion that:
Where government power is unchecked, where political
opposition is demonized, marginalized, and suppressed, where people
are molested by agents and offices of the state, the fact that a
government can point to a “democratic” victory to defend its
actions will never preclude popular protests. And a change in
government, as we saw in Egypt and elsewhere, is no guarantee that
popular discontent is alleviated. Although it is grievances about
specific governments, specific policies, and specific abuses of
power that animate any particular protest, it is the ability of
government to wield as much power as people have allowed it to that
give life to protest in the first place.
