and why it should not be afraid. Primer
Ask yourself a simple question: Do you not bothered to work hard as "at market", but to live as "a scoop?
And here it is not important for wage work, you work hard or do you own a small business the lion's share of the work you are now forced to give the maintenance of inefficient, clumsy, utterly corrupt authoritarian regime.
You can dramatically change their lives for the better by removing the main obstacle to this desire - Cheka regime, which again involves country into a scoop.
What to do this? It's simple - you just pick up and want.
On this occasion, the historian and political scientist Edward Glezin wrote a remarkable "Instruction" or "guide to action", think what you like, bring it completely.

After winning the popular uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, the revolutionary element overwhelms Bahrain, Yemen, Algeria, Libya. Experts are already talking about fourth wave of democratization. The third wave in the late 1980 swept away the authoritarian regimes in Eastern Europe. Now freed the Arab East.
For many this turn was unexpected. Meanwhile, there are a number of key features that makes the revolution
predictable phenomenon:
1. Virtually all revolutions are accomplished after the loss of legitimacy of the regime in the eyes of the majority population of any country. This may occur as a consequence "Peresizhivaniya" on the throne, the leader of the nation, and after making them very unpopular decision.
2. Practically all revolutions are accomplished in the countries where the government produces the stagnation in the development of the country . European monarchy (in England, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and others) have survived only where they could lead the transformation process. Ibid where monarchs until recently resisted the necessary reforms (Germany, France, Russia and others) they are simply covered with a Republican wave.
3. Practically all revolutions are accomplished in the absence of a feedback system between the government and society . The authorities prefer live in an illusory and comfortable world of distorting mirrors, not noticing the signals emanating from civil society. Rulers prefer to rig elections and admire their success through the controlled media, forgetting that they live in the Internet era ...
4. Virtually all revolution is true a sign of "maturity" of the people . The historical evolution of relations between the authorities and society in many ways reminiscent of the child and the head of the family. Children are first literally deify their parents and obey them in all. As well as people at an early stage in its development. Later, through conflict with the ancestors of the children is asserting itself and declare their independence. Later, the parents have become dependent on their offspring. After the revolution and social conflicts forced the rulers of the nations to reckon with your opinion. And so on until civil society begins to control action power and its regular turnover in democratic elections.
