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...
Radio Free Europe is not a NGO, it's a US government propaganda outlet. They support whatever serves the political interest of the US. If Russia were to get a feminist pro-LGBT government tomorrow, RFE would immediately start supporting "traditional Christian family values".
NGO's are opportunistic but the reason they get the opportunity to toppe foreign governments in the first place is the support they receive from western empires. That is also the reason we never see it happen the other way round, the thought of a Chinese NGO overthrowing say the Belgian government is absurd and they would be mercilessly crushed if they ever became a realistic threat.
