Later, when I asked about this again, Kincaid mentioned that he thought that the success of revolutions depending on the weakness of the oppressors applied to all revolutions, so I will give him that, but I still think it is extremely telling that this point of view only came up when the focus shifted to non-European, non-American countries.
It's exceedingly telling. Because although I agree that it does depend on the weakness of the oppressors, I think the most compelling, prime example of that would be, oh, the American one.
