There are two statements here. The first is that anti-capitalist movement can overthrow capitalist regimes (i.e., anti-capitalist revolutions can occur). The second statement is that such revolutions can lead to democratic political structures. I am curious about the second statement. In your view (the generic you), what is the evidence for the second statement? This is not intended as a contentious question. The fact that I may disagree with you about whether any specific post-revolutionary political structure is democratic, or an improvement, is irrelevant to the question. The questions is, from your perspective, what is the evidence that supports the statement that anti-capitalist revolutions can lead to democratic political structures?
