Serbian Students Topple an Authoritarian, A Model for Others

 

The article published on Waging Nonviolence's website contains all you need to know about overthrowing a corrupt authoritarian regime. It ain't easy, but it can be done. It takes more than a march or a protest. It requires persistence, deep commitment, nonviolent discipline and months-long blockades. It requires broad, non-ideological participation. It is not easy. But these students won. They took their government back from rule by autocrat Aleksandar Vucic who has held the country in a vice grip for 14 years! Bravo to them! And they provided a model, a blueprint for significant change!
