      Average military pay is like 2100/month so I guess if the dudes in charge of the nukes/drones/tanks decide to stop getting cucked by business interests it would probably be fine.

          That doesn’t always happen, look at the massacres in South Korea before the end of the dictatorship.

          The numbers on wikipedia are lower than actual numbers as questioning them could literally get you executed until the 90s. For example the official number for the Gwangju uprising is 165, but the city recorded an extra 2300 deaths above historical averages for May. That doesn’t include thousands who were arrested, many of whom sentenced to death.

          The government ordered the soldiers to shoot the protesters, and they did, and hardly anyone knows about it today.

          Indonesia is also worth looking at.
