Just wanted to clue you into how an actual revolution may play out. The commies & leftists in the French and Russian revolution seemed to run the same playbook and there are discernable patterns.
-
Exploitation. take pre-existing resentments and tension and exacerbate them. So the French peasants & Russian serfs were under-represented and hungry and suffering. In America, the tensions they are attempting to exploit is race relations. whites are the new bourgeios. the crisis that may make things worse would be economic collapse / inflation / collapse of dollar.
-
Crisis. open armed revolt that overthrows the King / Czar and setting up a replacement government by the revolution. Bolsheviks in Russia, Jacobins in France.
-
Civil war. The French jacobins had to fight monarchists, UK, Germans, Italians. Bolshevik reds had to fight White russians, UK, USA, Czechs.
-
Terror. In France you have the 'Reign of Terror' and in Russian you have the 'Red Terror' to kill anyone who is against the revolution where hundreds of thousands / millions died from secret police or starvation.
-
Eating their own. The revolutionaries turn against each other. Robespierre was killed by his fellow jacobins. Stalin purged the bolsheviks and had Trotsky killed.
-
Strongman eventually takes control and all this talk about equality and liberty turns out to be a farce. Napoleon becomes Emperor in France and Stalin becomes the Socialist Dictator.
By overthrowing the government, the revolutionaries just created a power vacuum where a popular general (Napoleon) or well-connected dictator (Stalin) could take control. Revolutions are NEVER clean and almost always lead to massive bloodshed and the eventual need, the NEED, for a strongman to restore order.
Problem. Reaction. Solution.
Thesis. Anti-thesis. Synthesis.
Pray this does not happen to America.
It is true the cases you cited, however:
There was a revolution in the late 1700s that instead turned to one of liberty and freedom - that of one American Revolution.
What we would hope is if it came to a Second American Revolution, we have learned our lessons from our Founding Fathers to not take the route you cover in your post.
We call it the American Revolution, but it was a rebellion, a war of secession, much like the South in the War Between the States. The colonists didn’t seek to overthrow or replace the monarchy, only to separate from it. Likewise, the South didn’t try to overthrow the American government and replace it. It is a fine distinction. America has not had a true revolution yet. God help us if we do!
I really appreciate this post. Too many people do not take things like this in to account. While I agree that a time may come for people to defend themselves or to even remove an authority that has become tyranny we must be cautious to not repeat the same mistakes ourselves. We must also consider long term how to solve the problem and not make an idol out of singular people or institutions as if they can solve all of our problems.
I agree, but I have a luke-warm opinion of Napoleon.
He seemed to genuinely want to make France strong and cast off the Bloody Revolutionary mindset as well as the old aristocratic chains of Europe.
Like all of 'em though, he got too big for his britches and started grabbing what didn't belong to him. Fatal mistake, and many suffered for it.
Still pretty baller how he showed up the Pope by placing the crown on his own head to become Emperor. Gotta give credit where credit is due. I got a feeling he was sticking it to the Cabal when he did that. This has been a long, long fight.
Napolean was freemason. He does the hidden hand sign in many of his paintings.
I'm having a hard time gestating those freemason signs.
At any point those presenting them could have turned on the Cabal, and the old portraits can't reflect it.
There are old pictures of Trump with freemason ilk. The standing theory is the only reason he got as far as he did in the Primaries is because they thought he was arranging a hand off to Hillary for the win and then turned on her at the last moment, revealing he had been working with the US Military the whole time. That man has sacrificed a lot more than we could possibly imagine, I'd wager.
With Napoleon and Hitler, however, it seems they may have been installed by the Cabal but once they got the taste for power they decided to turn on them and go supernova in a challenge of supremacy.
Mind you, I don't think they did it for the right reasons. They wanted to be the only one in charge, nothing more. If absolute power corrupts absolutely, then those given power are fated to bite the hand that fed them.
Is it so unusual to think that the Cabal can have internal civil conflict for who is top dog?
Again, I don't think Napoleon was a good guy, but at the end there I don't think he was a bad guy either. Just another stooge who thought he could rule the world only to be dragged back by the debtor's chains of the past. He went about it the wrong way.
The only way to do it is to hand the reigns over to God. Every conqueror that has failed to do that has ultimately fallen. Every conqueror who has given his bounty over to God has produced great fruit, such as our Founding Fathers.
Napoleon and others thought they could fight fire with fire. They were gravely mistaken.
