It's just that, indeed. Big players, that, when overrun by the people or serious shakes (French Revolution, WWI, WWII, Russian Revolution), just let some room for the people to reorganize things a bit better (and they did) and then, new big players step in. What's going to be interesting is that now, the "big players" are not going to be states only. There are companies too (as in, groups of people organizing themselves; but also as in, groups of people whose actions is hugely driven by a small number of owners). There's something brewing.
