I would bet that it's even less than half. How many people were actually involved in the Russian Revolution??
A few thousand? Maybe a little more? I honestly dont know. All I do know is that it has been shown time and time again over history that a small small, yet violent and radical group can overthrow entire nations.

The vast majority of the middle to top leadership during the Russian Revolution wasnt white

The problem with the change in govt will be the demographic changes themselves, the people dont just stay put. Venezuela is an example.
Living here in Trinidad, just miles from the coast of Venezuela, and our own govt being sympathetic to the people of Venezuela, we have probably taken in 100K. In the beginning it was the rich, mobile. The people who did not have hard assets, like factories, bricks and mortar, in Venezuela, along with the educated middle class. Next came the poor hard working people, who simply wanted a job (we have no social safety net for refugees here). Now we see the criminal element more often (I guess there is nothing left to steal in Venezuela anymore).
When maduro is finally gone, there will be no middle class educated people to run the economy of the country. They live in Miami, Trinidad, London, they got married had a couple of kids, they arent going back. It means the country is left with, very wealthy factory owners, a corrupt govt, and a huge population of poor people. depending on the govt.

A sad day in history. Few men fought communism with the tenacity of Pinochet

In honor of Pinochet.

Pinochet was a cattle prod expert and as brutal as any Argentine general in "disappearing" people. Despite the fact that he was a capitalist, the man should have assumed room temperature much earlier than he did.

Hard times call for hard men.
Was he nice, pleasant, a humanitarian, etc? No. But he was able to turn Chile around quickly when Allende was flushing it down the toilet.

That Bolivians are wholly incapable of paying attention to what goes on within the South American continent?

I don't know who sprung me or even how long I was sprung before noticing because I'd stopped trying to post.
I figured out I was sprung by accident.

IIRC Kissinger is still alive
And I am sure he remembers The Domino theory. With China's influence in the economies in South America, we live in interesting times.
First they build islands in S China Sea. Then they militarize them. Then they get involved in Africa and South America. This is not to say that China is involved in Chile's "constitutional crisis", but I believe this does not upset them.
ETA: I think they are in Trinidad as well, building a hospital. Hope trinidadtiger checks in.
