I can, specially in Europe. One good example might be the Portuguese Carnation Revolution that took place in 1974.
It overthrew a corporatist dictatorship where private enterprise created a feudal system based on state sponsored monopolies handed out to a few families.
The dictator himself was apparently modest in his life style, but his friends running the monopolies were very wealthy.
Life for the common person improved significantly after the revolution with access to free health-care, more education and better worker rights. |
