We have been over this many times now. No need to repeat it again.
Let me ask a different question: a revolution has broken out in a poor
economy, without the ability to confront the imperialism powers head on.
Clandestine operations can do great damage to the society. Less committed
citizens can be bribed. Misinformation can confuse people, creating factional
divisions. Suppose further that the society is divided among different ethnic
groups?
How far will an open society get?
