Somebody Somebody : It's interesting. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is celebrating it's 62 anniversary. Cuba's revolution is about 52 years old. In both cases, it's safe to say you're dealing with regimes on the verge of moving from moderate capitalist reforms to more thorough-going economic transformation. The Russian Revolution lasted 74 years. What is the life-span of a socialist regime? It seems to be at most around the length of a human lifetime.

^^^^^ CB: That's in the second historical phase. The third one will increase exponentially over that. ( The first phase was the Paris Commune, which lasted some weeks or so).
