great pound europe depriving france and austria of a top notch grades. the globe's failing to control its debt epidemic. next on r.t. the author of the dictatorship to democracy jean sharpe's books described by some as the blueprint for nonviolent revolutions art is going to teach you come know us whether that concept this realistic. i'm sitting down with gene sharp his book from dictatorship to democracy is seen by many as a guide on how to carry out a revolution through nonviolent means it's often referred to as the bible of color revolutions dr sharp looking at how revolutions and fall in the arab world do you see this transition from dictatorship to democracy i see a first step in. the sense of bringing down the old

system the old dictatorial system and it doesn't seem to you that people there are trading one form of oppression for another they have this happens. that happens and it's a good set to bring down a person. but. so they have to be very careful when we think the egyptians weren't very careful what they have now is their military brutally cracking down on protesters we hear about all kinds of abuses islamists are gaining power in the country my question is this what kind of democracy could the current state of affairs in egypt possibly create. removes made a mistake they should never get that mubarak condition gives the power to the army and then i'll resign. because that's it on me as it's been the agent of repression and egypt for decades and they're going to change overnight it's

unclear. is i don't know i don't have the two intermissions what their pricing is and all. but it's a different kind of situation than the pretty. well we did start out as a largely nonviolent popular uprising but we see what it turned into could it be that your concept of nonviolent uprisings is kind of forward do you in this day and age i mean look at the arab world it's a bloody mess you get bloody mess is when you get people standing up and saying we want change because. we don't like to be told we don't love you anymore you're going to be the center go and they will use whatever means of controlling repression and killing and intimidation they can muster and when to not be surprised that so uprisings like that can't be nonviolent in principle they can

if they go to many many more will die. divines is not a solution to people dying many people are cooler than the run of the presidents and civil war and international military intervention and they said no. as in syria when and. if they go into a civil war for an intervention in syria many many many more will die he said to critics of the syrian opposition absolutely refuses to talk to the government don't you think it deepens the crisis adds to the violence what they are doing there in refusing to negotiate because negotiations are. the pressure government use to get the resisters not to resist to go with the ship you have to go through it but that situation basically rules out nonviolent struggle that you were talking about it provokes while it is causing the

regime use what i don't see maybe. so people should be dying in the name of revolution is that what you're saying and you seem to have a built in some sense the only means. to the country and no i just see a bloody mess instead of the idea makes nonviolence surge that you are writing about in the book let me ask you this the us nato have set a precedent with the military intervention in libya could it do you think it creates a situation in syria where radical elements among the syrian opposition are more inclined to provoke these sorties in order to invite an intervention i think going to be a military intervention that is very dangerous and. maybe and some syrians have been doing that that's very unfortunate because that will not help

that we're not being a democracy that will be a victory by the outside forces. assuming you get rid of the old regime. heavily influenced by the powers that intervene us and france or whoever it is so that they will have a major say in her government happens and that's on the part of the syrian people but you think should be is that what happened in libya yes in your opinion what's in it for the u.s. when it decides to meddle in foreign revolutions in foreign affairs you know as well or better than i do you know. i'm not talking about u.s. policy why let's talk about it why opinion is u.s. government should not be intervening in military in the name of democracy because if it doesn't work and they can serve other objects what about nonmilitary means it seems they're using all kinds of means their means of service should be used by the

u.s. government but people of that country to get rid of. a lot of people are getting this. sense that washington is more into establishing friendly regimes rather than democracies if we take libya for example people there are afraid to speak up right now i mean we have reporters on the ground and they have to blur people's faces all the time because people are afraid of being seen the leadership there is about to introduce sharia law as the basis for their new laws which is pretty much incompatible with democratic values so you pretty much looks like an example of how instead of a supposed transition to democracy people are getting pretty much the opposite so i think the b. is a different case because that's a case where the. changes in the. foreign forces combine into a civil war but down the gadhafi regime that's an example of

a lot of the longer answer or on a slightly different note occupy wall street a very peaceful movement by all standards do you find them effective you know. you know. people. are annoyed with. the stream limited political control they have. the extreme this now and distribution of. some of the people making the expression of their opinions on. symbolism does not change the distribution of wealth in a country so you're saying no change is possible through that kind of nonviolent action yes or. change opinions maybe but this is not sufficient let's get back to the arab world people there seem to be getting more and more convinced that nonviolence doesn't get them anywhere either do you think change can be brought

about only through revolution. change can be both ways but what kind of change exactly i'm glad you brought that up because it seems the way it is now is people take to the streets with jane your own aspirations but those who take advantage of those uprisings end up stepping on people's rights as well as they are pretty assessors had change can be from day to nude. many many years ago. they. mean it's inevitable but no means the kind of action that you choose to use to determine what kind of results you get it's clear that the records extreme care and extreme good judgment and clear thinking and strong to prevent that from happening i see a contradiction between this idealist view of

a nonviolent revolution and a reality you know someone said and i don't remember who it was but it goes any revolution is started by idealists carried out by fanatics and taken advantage of by bastards around the world. but in a very. similar difference in your work can you outline the steps that would make a revolution happen but what i think was overlooked is life after a revolution and in most cases it is a set tale you should be concerned about. because in concluding pages. it warns about. it's sort of a solution to what to do that correctly but it warns about but that warning of yours is being largely ignored don't you think i believe that it's

a problem that's why we've got more work going on thank you very much for the interview but it's been a pleasure. if they shoot something inappropriate from the public they can easily be. casualties of war ok. i wish he would have never happened but it has happened. in a war a t.v. camera becomes an unnecessary what destroys their own safety all foreign nationals including journalists and inspectors should leave around. and it's clear what happens with such witnesses i got among my site. one where many.
