Read the article. It is pretty well written. Not recent, but still valid.
When the people of a nation who have long been abused, overcome the fear of death then those spontaneous moments can happen. That is exactly what happened to Ceausescu.
One little old lady called him a liar. He was standing on a high 2nd story building balcony far removed from the crowd below. They got into an argument and the woman persisted. He became afraid and the crowd turned on him. Less than 48 hours later he and his wife were dead.
It did happen.
This sort of thing may happen soon in Venezuela. If the people had not been disarmed, it would have already been done.
yes, i understand the Ceausescu case and i believe the Iranians might give it a go, i'm just saying religious fanatics will kill their countrymen with abandon and a full heart vs ideological goons that still have some sense of conscience and love of their country/countrymen and refused to back a dictator hence his fall
