European governments would get overthrown within the week if the people were armed: I don't think any European government is actually capable of withstanding an armed uprising. Sadly, the working classes in Europe are thoroughly disarmed, allowing the pigs an actual monopoly on force and preserving the existing regimes. Americans are nowhere near that powerless: If Euros packed anywhere near that kinda heat, our governments would be toast.
