"I don’t think this is like the French Revolution."
Did the French Revolution feel like a revolution when the Bastille was stormed? I'm NOT equating the the two, but theorizing that revolutions aren't always fully planned at first. This (and similar mob actions over the last few years) feel more like peasant uprisings: local and lack cohesiveness to do more than a single action.
- michaelbrave 6y agoThat's a fair point, that most is local and lacking cohesiveness. This was part of why occupy wall-street failed so spectacularly, because there was no proper leadership to represent their demands, in fact there wasn't really clear demands either. I don't think those people stopped being discontented though, they just quit showing up to voice it.
