When a people surrender and let themselves be ruled by a dictatorship for decades it has to take great sacrifice to reverse the situation. Peaceful resistance will accomplish the job, but it will take a bit longer and one must have patience, I hear some retort, but I would argue that the change that comes about this way is not necessarily out of this peaceful action but something which would have evolved on is own anyway. But that would take many decades.
Very inspirational. Hope more Hong Kong people will see this video and learn from him. He actually helped topple Serbian president. I don't think Chinese Government can be possibly overturned like Serbia at this moment. However, Hong Kong people can definitely weaponize Hong Kong's special international status and put pressure to Chinese and Hong Kong government.
I'm glad I'm watching this on RUclips with subtitles. The audience probably had no idea what he was talking about. Nevertheless, it was very interesting. A little too many examples in such a short time, though.
People need to realize that every real revolution is a revolution of culture, the current occupy movements face a paradigm and a value institution more than a group of people or actual institution. Non-violent struggle if properly used will open a way for a new paradigm.
This man works for money, not beliefs... He says Gadafi was prosecuted. No, he was murdered, brutally... He helps the "opposition" in Syria to fight a democratically chosen president and he's proud of that but those moderate rebels he was helping are actually Al-Qaeda. He helped overthrow Mubarak to install the Muslim Brotherhood in power, wtf? In Serbia, he took down Milosevic who was, lets face it, bad, but with it helped politicians who stole tens of billions of dollars from our already broke-ass country, and are still robbing it even more these days... This man is a cancer!
is arab spring just another controversy ??..im from india and i feel that freedom has its limits..india has more freedom but its less organised...we dont need cruel dictators..but we need something that people will accept as perfect..democracy is not perfect
There can never be a "perfect" system. Freedom will never be organised, and anything perfectly organised will take away freedom by default. Democracy might not be perfect, but far better than the other systems the world has seen. India has seen some of the finest monarchs, but toppling monarchs is easier than toppling a democratic system.

@chikabuda well this is acctually a comment made from a perspective of a citizen that has experienced what ensued after the instalation of "democracy" in his country 11 years after Otpor supported individuals have taken over the political scene. Our country's economy is in the worst state since the hyperinflation that came as an consequence of the war in the beggining of the 90's. All of our private companies have been sold and abandoned, and people are more unsatisfied than in Slobodans days.
- foreign exchange reserves amounted to only USD 300 million - 600,000 refugees from the ex Yugoslav Republics and Kosovo - the internal debts totaled to EUR 15 billion - almost 70% non-repaired railways, roads, schools, hospitals - foreign exchange debt to the depositor around 10 billion
@YonasChannel Hey Yonas, it is a great book analysing more than 300 different conflicts from 1900 - 2006, proving that in fact nonviolent struglle is far more efficient. Names of authors are Maria Stephan and Erica Chenoweth and name of th book is "Why Civil Resistance works".
And I wouldn't like you to think that I'm trying to say that this government is good. In fact, it's very bad. But still, you cannot say that things are worst today than before Otpor's revolution. The achievements are significant and they would be even better if Djindjic had a chance to fulfill at least one full mandate.

@bigmadbad when you analyse effects of violent campaigns and nonviolent campaigns it is clear that nonviolent struggle, because it includes variety of people and not only elites is not only twice more likely to suceed but also produces more stable results. read the book mentioned in presentation (Why Civil Resistance Works) it is clear that about 42 percents of nonviolent campaigns end in democracy five years after change of top guys occured - comparing to only 4 percents of violent campaigns.
@bigmadbad Thats exactly the point: he mentions NONVIOENT struggl as prospective in means of getting to democracy, from Serbia to Tunisia which recently hold its free and fair elections. So different from bombing of Serbia, Iraq or Libya where this violence will produce only more misery. This is clearly pointed out in the book "Whi Civil Resistance Works" by Erica Chenoweth Proving that 42 percent of nonvilent campaigns end in democracies - in contrast to only 4 percent s of violent uprisings!
@phoenixnigma People in Egypt were (and still are, 'tho to a slightly lesser degree, there is a long way yet to go) being dragged off the street and tortured to death. I don't think "don't torture and kill me" is really necessarily a discussion about the limits of democracy. You don't need a heaven to know you don't wanna be in hell.
***** he was taken down by CIA!!! most of the people were for him!! he was poisoned in prison because they knew they couldnt convict. And then last year he was proven innocent when his top 2 guys were accquited of all charges. down with the NATO lies!
Odlican govor Ko ga nevoli to je licno ali analiza uspeha revolucije u praksi je uspela. Da nije bilo otpora nebi bilo ni uspeha. Posle toga je posle...
r0kafela, you were obviously too young to remember, or you lost your memory about the 90s. Few facts about the condition of Serbian society in the year 2000, before Otpor: - children's allowances were not paid off for two years - farmer’s pensions for three years - compensation for the unemployed for two and half years - overall debt for the unpaid pensions and other social benefits totaled EUR 230 million - inflation in 2000 was 113% - average salary amounted to around EUR 40
People Power is now so wide and indigenous phenomenon that sad all narrative coming mainly from Milosevic days, that`s all abou foreign mercenaries sound soo sad and archaic. Guys, wake up, the whole generation in the world from Noth Africa, through countries like Greece to walstreet but also Russia is soooo fed up by political elite that they stand up for their rights. They dont need NOBODY from outside to tell them how to do it, please dont underestimate those young men and women!

@bebeblabla in facts percents say something else. if you look at 323 different conflicts from 1900 to 2006 you will see that in case of nonviolent uprisings against dictators people who desire change are sucesfull in 53 % cases if they pick the path of nonviolent struggle More than 40 percents of this changes end up in stable democracies (checking period of 5 years after change occurs) - quite a fair chances for positive outcome for those living without basic freedoms, aint it?

Taking to account real conseqences, which are btw easy to predict, "non violent" sounds overvelmingly hipocritical.
It was a reply to another comment.
Check the original comment below, and you'll see the context.
Great talk. I like his ideas and I found an AOC podcast with him as a guest in which he talks more about a revolution anatomy.
Could you post a link to that podcast? Thanks
7:05 humor as a destructive weapon
5:13 which makes most street events useless because armed forces can infiltrate the movement and make it go wrong

what bullshit! milosevic wasnt a violent dictator not even close! he was just exaggerated by american politics
