Not always the case, look at the soviet union. Collapsed because the soviet leadership lost faith in what they were doing.

You left out the part where they murdered a quarter of the population then utterly bankrupted the country by running an economy based on political favors for 3 generations. But yeah for brevity's sake I guess "lost faith" sums it up.

I was refuting the statement by citing a counterexample. The USSR was started by an armed uprising against the czar and collapsed after Gorbachev started letting people vote. Exactly the opposite of what Walker said in the post. But whatever.

I appreciated the nuance in your post.
