The revolution was about the government taking political prisoners, and mismanagement of water rights.

The revolution formed Soviets and was honestly pretty based, but then the CIA, ISIS, Russia, etc. got involved and escalated it into a civil war with so much violence social change was near impossible.

You’re acting like anti nuclear lefties aren’t also anti pollution generally
