If it's laughable why did they use violence to bring back Nasser when he self-abdicated instead of toppling the regeim during it's weak period.
No the revolution did not take place in a vaccum. There was a large anti-western and thus anti-democratic movement accross the globe.
What you're saying is simply castle in the sky thinking of historical perspective. That it was not the people who actively decided but the big bad government did it to them. This just does not work, the popularity and the quick spread of the movement proves that the movement was spread by the people, not government agents.

I just showed it. When he abdicated they used violence to bring him back. After he revolked ALL rights of the people, and enforced military rule. They litterally killed people to bring him back when the government itself did not want him (the many conflicting ministries), that's voluntary if you ask me.
