I support Cuba and understand that regime change would make things much worse. My twitter timeline is full of MLs going "this is color revolution" as if it explains things. It made me wonder, what exactly makes a color revolution a color revolution.

I've read the wikipedia article and what I got is most of them are started by nonviolent student protests during disputed elections or other point of instability. Many are supported by western NGOs. What makes them inherently bad though? They sound like a strategy without specific ideological leaning...

      I mean georgia/ukraine mainly, allegedly georgia expected nato aid with that whole shitshow in 2009, ukraine receives direct aid now (but their initial color revolution actually didn’t do anything, the second one (maidan) did)
