[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 811256, member: 2189"] Egypt for the most part was non violent and the violence mostly seen were by Murbarak loyalist or those attempting to maintain the status quo. Egypt at best replaced a leader and still maintain some measure of the older system so in a true revolutionary sense, depends on your definition as to how to call that. Regardless, IMO I was impressed to see 1000's if not millions resort to non-compliance in order to force change. I have no proof to believe this but it almost at times seemed to me that they had been reading Etienne de la Boetie. [COLOR=red][COLOR=#000000]Then again we do know they were reading Gene Sharp so just maybe they did or maybe they are now. Egypt IMO showed that non-violence and non compliance can bring down a state and it's only our compliance that in the end keeps it up. Fear is the mind killer![/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=red][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
