You're missing a few classic violent revolutions in that logic, the NAZI party, Mao (he created a famine and kept power...) Stalin, Pol Pot (also made famine, not created by it).
People really get triggered by real or perceived injustice. It seems to be one of those common human instincts. Being downtrodden with lack of opportunity while others are born to the manor can get people going.
- ameister14 9y agoThe Nazi party wasn't a violent revolution, and Mao came to power in part through widespread famine and war. Creating famine doesn't always generate a violent and widespread revolution, that wasn't my point. Inequality on its own, without other types of degradation or the growing desperation that famine brings has sparked no such revolutions.
