Re: Current Condition of Armenia
Compare the various revolutions in modern history with the American one. You will see a stark difference. One was about breaking away from the colonial masters, similar to what the Latin Americans did 40 years later. Others were about tearing down the entire order of society and replacing it with something new. That is a revolution.
Your negativity toward Armenia and shortsightedness are detrimental to Armenia. How do you know how long a revolution in Armenia would last? Who would come to power? What guarantee do we have that the new power elite would be patriotic and not the same sh*t? How do you know Armenia's enemies will not attack during the revolution? What about the innocent lives that will likely be lost? But it is easy to sit in America and make grand declarations about this and that.
If you really want to see a concentration of capital and business in few hands look no further than the media/entertainment/telecommunication industry in the US. Four companies run the show, and they collude on a regular basis. Or how about the big banks? Citi, BoA, Chase, and Goldman Sachs. Oligarchies exist in all societies, it is just that the US, thanks to its geography has been able to amass great amounts of wealth, so that the scraps falling off the edge of the proverbial table are more than enough to keep the sheeple content with their lives. After all, OWS started because Americans realized they couldn't find a job to pay for their two cars, big screen TV, and air conditioning.
