So is named a huge, seven page article at Transitions Online.

Read the whole thing. I went in rather skeptical, but all of my points of contention were addressed. In fact, I think it covers just about everything.

One thing I don’t agree with was the need for at least a little bit of pluralism in the system for it to happen. With some covert organization, anything is possible. I believe that the more these regimes react negatively to the spread of political and civil liberties, justice, and morality, the quicker they will incite a revolution all by themselves. Oppression breeds opposition.
