I've said this for years as well.
The globalization of communication has been the biggest advancement of mankind in the past century, even more so than discovery of nuclear energy, and it's the key in lowring the barriers between individuals.
The tyrants will try as they may, but the sheer fact is, people will inevidably feel attached to other individuals they can exchange with, instead of a dusty, old teachings of authoritarian values.

There will be resistences met, and it'll take time.
But I doubt it'll take centuries as some cynics predict, looking at how much changed in Asia and the West in the mere past fifty years.
