MLK, Mandela and Gandhi got results, not because they appealed to morals, but because they were alternatives to violent uprisings.
Mandela was also literally the head of a paramilitary revolutionary force
The dissolution of the Soviet Union was a violent coup and completely destroyed the lives of millions of people, it's probably the most destructive event in the history of humanity apart from wars and the Holocaust
What alternative method did they present, again?
Jesus fucking Christ.
look for India's independence year, and gandhi's last protest year, something seems not good
