Yeah that’s like improving the overcrowding issues in prisons by reducing the standard for capital punishment. I should read some history books of that, surely

  No, it's not like that. In any case go through this list and tell me you cannot find a single beneficial one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_revolutions_and_rebellions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_revolutions_and_rebell... Here, I'll leave you one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnation_Revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnation_Revolution I don't even think you're wrong in your dislike of revolutions, like I said, I was clear in saying I don't want to live through one, but the extreme view that nothing good every happened is simply, blind.

    Fair enough, the correct wording should be something like "revolutions are not worth their cost" as some good does come from revolutions. I'm sure many will argue that the its worth the cost but thats much more subjective.

      I agree with this latest comment of yours, and I think I know where you're coming from as counterpositioning to some things one reads online. It's definitely muddy, even the one I linked you was very complex during the following months, but was on the whole good - in my opinion. My parents and grandparents lived through it and would choose to go through it again as many many others.
