Idealistic youth demonstrations in Bangladesh and Thailand are transforming the political landscape of Asia.
In Bangladesh they toppled the autocratic government of Sheikh Hasina who fled the country.
In Thailand they are poised to challenge the unelected Senate and the conservative Constitutional Court and rewrite the military-drafted Constitution.
There have been huge demonstrations in Hungary against the arch-conservative government of Viktor Orban.
And in America we have seen the largest demonstrations in history.
There is little doubt that this new generation is politically aware and active.
They are peaceful and law-abiding and they respect the democratic system.
Youth culture will sweep away the last vestiges of autocratic conservatism and the rule of unelected plutocrats.
