View submission: Are there examples of oligarchic governments being removed peacefully?
South Africa’s oligarchy sometimes gets portrayed as dismantling itself voluntarily, but that’s an oversimplification. The government was essentially dragged kicking and screaming into transitioning to democracy by being hit with both international sanctions and violent domestic revolt, and it essentially reached the point where leaders realized they could either end Apartheid or it would probably end them.
There's nothing here!
