1848 in practice let to a lot of turmoil, bloodshed and failed regimes in the short term, but I think it's fair to be inspired by the idealism.

Saying that you have to have to support the Arab Spring because it’s “ideals” were good is like saying that you have to support China’s Great Leap Forward because it had good “ideals.”

No, as China's great leap forward had stupid ideals

Economic development by industrialization is a stupid ideal?

I don't think that was the primary ideals of the great leap forward?
