But it wasn’t the crowd that did it. In the east, the crowd never mattered. Therefore, Europeanized natives and guests ask themselves questions. You have, they say, such a dictator in power, he has ruled for thirty years, there is such corruption around, and you are silent. However, wherein the east has any aristocrat voluntarily resigned from office? Where, what dictator sat on the throne for less than ten years? What modern autocrat before the Arab Spring did not hold referendums on extending the term of power? Everywhere you look in Asia, referendums have been held and are still being held to extend the term of power (Hosni Mubarak ruled for 30 years, Yemeni dictator Saleh ruled for 33 years, Libyan leader Gaddafi for almost 42 years, and so on) and the people are happy with this. This is how propagandists portray us. It’s just that in Asia, including in all Arab countries, those who live in cities are all former nomads. And the dictators, whereby force, and whereby so-called reforms, dragged the howling provincials into the cities. No matter what city you take, even if it is very ancient, no matter what state, even if it is post-Soviet, but these cities have a population with a short period of urbanization.Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
