Just a few questions

"Every emancipation movement in history occurs in steps. It does not and cannot happen overnight in one radical political coup d'etat."

What were the "steps" preceding Arab Spring? What were the "steps" preceding Occupy Wall Street? Or are those not emancipation movements?

At one point, there was no rebellion in Libya. A week later, there was a rebellion in progress. Now, less than a year later, a dictator has been forcefully thrown out. I don't see any "steps" there, I don't see years of careful preparation and cultivation preceding the week the revolution started. Inthe case of this country, we have yet to see the results from American Fall (Occupy Wall Street) but the movement has grown from a dozen protesters in one city to thousands upon thousands of activists in dozens of cities, and again I don't see any "steps" preceeding the initial protests, I don't see years of careful preparation finally coming to fruition.

Analyze what happened in these cases and maybe we can come up with a way to ignite our own emancipation movement. Fuel + spark = explosion.
