I'm definitely among those who see SCAF's ousting of Morsi as a decision taken by one wing of the ruling class as the best available means to try (emphasize try) to derail the MASS revolutionary movement. And I therefore take his ouster as a sign of the power of those masses, who will now move on to consolidate and seek gains around all their demands (this is also the sentiment of the overwhelming majority of Egyptian radicals commenting on Facebook who, by the way, are really hacked off at non-Egyptians who don't give credit to the tens of millions in the streets). Now, for analytical purposes, I'm interested in other examples of coups occurring at various stages of revolutionary upsurge, and what subsequent developments occurred. Here's one study along those lines: http://www.harvardilj.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/HLI203.pdf ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
