Revolutions aren't won without foreign elite support

This is such a common meme but no one ever thinks about it critically.

Let's do that.

Please tell me why revolutions require foreign support. Why is this?

Because everyones understanding of revolutions and war come from state school focusing on the last two centuries of empire. Nobody ever learns shit about the preceding three thousand fucking years of human history and nature itself. Human history started with the american revolution for most people in the u.s. and was cavement before that.

Yeah but that's not a reason why a revolutionary organization needs foreign support. There are many of us who understand how modern asymmetric warfare works.

Even the American revolution was won partly due to foreign parties wanting America to break off as its own country in order to spite England.

Because revolutionaries have less support, less logistics, less training, less organization, less weapons than the government they are trying to overthrow. Everyone brings up the Vietnamese rice farmer meme but those aren't wins so much as the attacking country got bored and left. Also, they are the ATTACKING country. They're the ones that have to deal with the logistics issues. In the case of a revolution, we're talking about a smaller, less elite force attacking a bigger, established, better trained force. Winning such a thing would be damn near impossible without perfect operations, destroying tons of infrastructure and high-ranking officers, which would essentially leave nothing left, and at that point the attacking force (which I would assume to be us, right-leaning white guys) would have to fend off a million other pretenders to the throne; just because we took down the government doesn't mean we automatically become the new government.

Because revolutionaries have less support

History is written by determined minorities, anon.

The current government is illigitimate. And even if we could get support from Russia, this would not change our public support of lack of it.

less logistics, less training, less organization, less weapons than the government they are trying to overthrow

True but these things can change and you're ignoring the government's own weaknesses; Namely that the government is like a boat. You can see it and attack it whenever you like. Revolutionaries are like submarines. They are unseen and may strike at will.

just because we took down the government doesn't mean we automatically become the new government.

I agree but chaos is fair and I like those odds.
