In other words, people in other countries will have to fight oppression
without any outside help, and if the oppressors are stronger -- no, that
possibility will be ignored or dismissed.  Never mind that oppression may be
-- what is the word, metastable? -- so that it takes a critical level of
opposition before a tyrant can be overthrown; a critical level that just
might be reached with outside help.

"When they want to work for a better form it will come" -- would that it
were so.
