It still rings hollow, unless revolutions to overthrow monarchy weren’t radical or revolutionary.

This isn’t really about that, it’s about vibes.

Which revolutions were inaccessible to the poor?

And honestly, yeah, revolutions like the American one where a bunch of rich people used propaganda, money, and threats to secede so they and an oligarchic “democracy” of white male land owners could pay lower taxes and privatize public land weren’t as radical or revolutionary as subsequent propaganda made them out to be.

I mean it depends, doesn’t it? If landed gentry overthrew a monarch concerned with the welfare of peasantry so they could maintain exploitation it’s not at all radical or revolutionary in the way the meme means it.
