Even the mass
non-violent strategies of Ghandi and King, et al, were acted out against a
background of the Soviet Union's armed force. Never doubt, that in the
absence of that mighty alternative, Ghandi and King and their followers
would have been slaughtered en masse.
---Also, if it weren't for the SU's armed force, Allende would have been
overthrown in 1973 and Pinochet would not have come to power.
