Venezuela? Chavez took power fair and square in an election, and then turned it into a communist authoritarian dictatorship later.

The modern revolution in Czechoslovakia turned out fairly free of violence, at it was not communist.

Did Chavez's revolution in Venezuela have all the paranoia and whatnot, as well? (I do not know, I am definitely just asking).

Oh, that's neat about the Czech revolution. I know, oh hmm, literally nothing about it. <looks it up> - The "Velvet" revolution? This is super cool, had no idea something like this happened, thanks!
