There are virtually no instances in history where the masses or some rogue entity has overthrown the status-quo by themself/itself. They've all be funded and/or supported by some external and powerful entity.
American revolution: Supported by France.
French revolution: Coup by the army that the peasants just happened to join in on.
Russian revolution: Funded by Germany.
Rise of Hitler: Funded by powerful industrialists.
Various socialist revolutions: Funded by Russia and/or China.
Various other coups: Funded by the USA.
Taliban: Funded by CIA.
"Muh but popular revolutions!!!!!!! "
Jfl.
Just face it. The great masses of sheeple are ahistoric and meaningless. They don't matter. Nobody actually overthrows fucking shit unless there is some powerful party that has an invested interest in making sure it happens. Without outside support you won't have the resources, and the sheeple itself will only rebel if the TV (which is controlled by the powerful parties) says they should. Otherwise they won't give a shit.
Popular uprisings and revolutions are a myth. It's all just controlled and manuplated by the wealthy and powerful. It's sort of like the bluepill myth about 'hard work' where you work your way upwards. Things don't work that way.
The world is deterministic. You have no agency.
