Which elites would you say looked the other way during the French Revolution?
- tsimionescu 3y agoAt the very least, France's neighboring kingdoms decided to let this play out.
- exe34 3y agoThis whole concept of elites giving their permission for revolutions just keeps getting vaguer and broader. It seems to explain any and everything. It's starting to sound like string theory.
- mcmoor 3y agoI heard that ones who raise to the top of French Republic is certainly not the poorest, more like middle class at most. They are not elites though, but the quote I've heard is that revolutions are middle and upper classes exchanging so it still fits.
