Not for the elites. No kings, queens, princes, princesses. No oligarchs, no spawn of same, just people like a former police chief working security, or a 21 year old mom, a couple of black men, one named George Floyd, a number of street cops, the poor guy shot in the head in his truck, the protestor dragged to death, an on and on. Common people will be killed, globalist elites will get richer. At some point if they get their way the country will be saddled with debt and ridden into a fire sale. The common people will lose everything. The globalists will pick up all of our assets for pennies on the dollar. Pray that doesn’t happen.

You know it was actually the common people who suffered even more than the elites during the French Revolution, right? For goodness sakes, more peasants were massacred via guillotine than actual aristocrats (by percentages, peasants killed by guillotine marked 30%, while aristocrats only marked 8%). Don’t believe me? Read this: https://web.archive.org/web/20050309031846/https://culturewars.com/CultureWars/Archives/Fidelity_archives/parricide.html

And who says the elites were not in charge of the French Revolution? Sure, King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were obviously not in charge of the revolution nor did they even want it. But Citizen Phillipe, the King’s brother, wanted it, and heck, one of the more radical members of the revolution was in fact one of the elites: Marquis de Sade. And let’s not forget about how Voltaire, Diderot, and Rousseau had played a HUGE role in orchestrating that revolution, and they were deemed the elites of society at the time.

To put it simply, even IF what you say about the Inquisition was actually true (which I doubt), the French Revolution wasn’t much better, and if anything was a whole lot worse even if it technically wasn’t an oligarchy.
