The French Revolution was a long time ago, and was a revolt against hereditary, feudal, and clerical elites that put into power bourgeois, lay elites.
Likewise, the American Revolution.
From the 20th Century on, revolts can only be against the very same bourgeois elites.
But there are no others to take their places.
And so revolt against the bourgeoisie has empowered only monsters: Mussolini, Hitler, and the Bolsheviks, and all their dreadful epigones.
