    There can be more than one problem.

    That’s not what you’ve been saying until now.

    A coup still inherently relies on there being internal forces willing to execute said coup.

    No shit, what are you trying to say? Are you saying there exists political systems which are immune to people wanting to stage a coup?

    I don’t dare say being capitalist could have stopped this particular one, quite likely it couldn’t. But it it is at least more resilient in general.

    How would it be more resilient?

    If it was impossible to resist superpower sponsored coups, I am sure the Baltics wouldn’t be able to remain democratic right next to Russia.

    What coup attempts are you talking about? Let’s try to focus on coups that were at least attempted or has any substantial evidence of being in the works.

      I am not talking about coup attempts. I am exactly talking about lack of coup attempts in countries, where you would expect superpowers to start one if they could. But they can’t. I failed coup attempt already signals instability of your system. Or do you believe a good political system should have regular coup attempts that have to be suppressed by force?
