You look at a lot of history, I look at a little but have never been one to study any history. Every Revolution the witless tear society and the perceived party/government leaders apart. I am not one to believe you are either with us or against us, I have never been an absolutist ever in my life on any subject at all.
The witless have no chance, have never had any chance in any revolution. They might win, but then they hand the reigns over to another group of people to lead them, to glory over them, to tell them what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. ALL revolutions end that way. Their is not a single revolution that has not followed that pattern any where in the world.
You're pretty much on the ball...The endless cycle..
