Was there ever a big societal change for the better without blood?
You know, kinda like our genetic cousins murdering the greedy guy who hogs all the bananas.
The collapse of the German Democratic Republic was peaceful.
It also did not happen in a vacuum, and the collapse of the Eastern bloc was not really peaceful.
Also, in my anecdotal experience, the harder break a country did from that system, the better they are doing now.
