    Generally political systems are fairly stable when either on the more authoritarian or the more democratic side.

I know of no other case of an authoritarian regime being successful when ruling over a large, dynamic economy. The USSR lasted 70 years. China is pushing that right now, although they might get extra life, because they have been able to liberalize a lot more than the USSR ever did.
