    The French revolution - and most of that history - contradict your hypotheses.

      According to historians such as François Furet, the new government gave themselves unlimited power which was immediately abused by it. Only about two thirds of men gained the right to vote, favoring wealth, and none of the women, and the King was still in power. After the second round of revolution France split into three factions fighting internally which led directly into the “Reign of Terror.”

      And then Emperor Napoleon.

      But yes, you could say the French Revolution had some beneficial long term results, now how about you defend the 200+ wars that France has been in over the last two millenium as well?

        Liberty ain’t free dear and boomers being pathetic bootlickers is why the CEO had the to be deposed.

        Unchecked and unaccountable elites is how social unrest happens.

        Or is you down being fucked over as long as we keep “peace”?

          What a complete non-response to my comment. You really fought this battle without fighting, Sunzu.

            You got a bootlicker mind set: can’t fight elites because there will be violence

            No shit sherlock, nobody wants this but if the elites can’t rule properly that’s what happens.

            This is poliscie 101
