You were talking to a moron then. Because Apartheid South Africa doesn't exist anymore.
Here's an amazing conversation which answers your question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69pEzsfX8Aw
And all the countries that kicked off colonial rule in the C20th. Sure a lot of them got refucked in the long run but they were ostensibly successful revolutions.
Even those countries that are now financial colonies are starting to break loose from the IMF with BRICS. Of course that has its own problems, but our monopoly on colonialism is starting to shake.
Not sure if this can be compared to a revolution against local rulers. Wasn't the main reason for the success of many of the initial revolutions against colonial rulers that keeping the colonies became to expensive? The colonies were mostly business ventures for the colonial powers after all.
How can we take a lesson from this for local revolutions?
I would have thought any successful revolution would need for the state to be wobbling in some fashion.
