从1986年菲律宾推倒费迪南德·马科斯的“人民权力”革命，到1991年8月叶利钦反抗针对戈尔巴乔夫的政变阴谋，再到近年来的玫瑰革命、橙色革命和雪杉革命，只要有足够的人站出来，独裁者只能被迫承认失败。
From the “People Power” revolution that toppled Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines in 1986 to Boris Yeltsin’s defiance of the attempted coup against Mikhail Gorbachev of August 1991, to the Rose, Orange, and Cedar Revolutions of recent years, dictators have been forced to admit defeat when enough people stand up to them.
