    When the CIA stops funding resistances, the countries tend to go back to their own level of development, whatever that may be. Chile became less fascist after the CIA got bored with funding Pinochet, and Afghanistan and now Tunisia became more fascist.

    You can’t start an inorganic revolution and hope it lasts, especially if it was only ever held up by violent oppression of the previous groups in power.
