    That explains the Chinese revolution, the Mexican revolution, hell the French revolution too :)

      It certainly helps to explain America’s long history of regime change and destabilisation initiatives

        When your government botches an election in such a spectacular way, it is expected that the population would react in any country. I don’t know where you live, but if some protofascist steals an election e.g. Bolsonaro/Trump, we will both be out there rioting with good reason, it won’t be because the CIA paid us.

          Or in other words: Potential protesters are not sitting at home like “Oh man, I so want to protest this shit, but the CIA didn’t pay me yet, so I can’t :(”

        Sure. The Velvet Revolution.

        Or are you going to claim that Czechs and Slovaks have no self-determination? I’m sure some here will be willing to chime in and tell you otherwise.
