Revolution: Victory for Egypt

It will take a long time for the final shape of government to be defined but by all accounts we have victory!

Here are a couple quick twitter stream points that I think are very important for any other revolutionaries:

Each time the propaganda was replaced by truth the strength of the revolution increased massively... #egypt

Something for other revolutionaries in other countries to think about if they are going to try for the same. #egypt

I'm thinking the taking of state TV building was a big step in giving the regime a final push... when the propaganda became truth. #egypt

Obviously, as professional analysts have said, the fact that protestors remained peaceful was very important. This gave them the moral high ground and in particular revealed the government and it's thugs as the bad guys in a way that all could see -- each time truth was able to replace regime propaganda and lies.

In a bigger sense, the trick is to look at the situation in other countries and figure out what might work. For example, if people are illiterate and can't use the Internet then things will be much different. Perhaps in that case it would be even more important to find ways to counter propaganda. Who knows, perhaps it is nearly impossible to have a revolt without widespread communication and grass-roots information sharing.
