“Most revolutions follow this pattern. Elites bifurcate, usually due to revolutionary economic or geopolitical shifts creating a new elite class, this new elite gather significant wealth and influence, but is frustrated by existing political arrangements. Eventually, it becomes clear the split cannot be resolved, and popular unrest — usually triggered by a financial crisis — finally gives the savvy among them the opportunity to draw on the masses and foment revolution.”
