    It still rings hollow, unless revolutions to overthrow monarchy weren’t radical or revolutionary.

      Which revolutions were inaccessible to the poor?

      And honestly, yeah, revolutions like the American one where a bunch of rich people used propaganda, money, and threats to secede so they and an oligarchic “democracy” of white male land owners could pay lower taxes and privatize public land weren’t as radical or revolutionary as subsequent propaganda made them out to be.
