Reply #14: Having lived in South America at a time when democracies

[Cleita]

could be counted on one hand, dictatorships and banana republics reigned supreme, and revolutions happened on a daily basis somewhere on the continent, I would say no. Revolutionaries are poorly equipped and are ususally starved out and killed in the end. The same old ruling class of elites that rotates into power and nothing changes.

It is grass roots politicing that gets rid of the tyrants and the ruling class. If you want change in Mexico, the people will have to do it from within. I have discovered working with restaurant workers in Los Angeles, that there is a high rate of illiteracy from the peasant class because they often have to go to work sometimes as young as seven years of age.

Starvation wages and illiteracy keep the poor masses where they are and the ruling elites in power. It is a little more complicated than this but this is putting it in a nutshell.
