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?

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.
The aristocrats were executed during the French Revolution. Some were smuggled out, and nobody leaves land, houses, wealth, etc behind without a darned good reason.
Here, we have the agenda of the globalist elite being carried out by BLM. Their platform includes open borders, which is great for driving down wages well past living wage territory. This results in the government picking up the tab for food stamps, healthcare, housing, childcare, for working people who can’t afford to live on what they are paid. This lowers payroll and increases profits.
So protestors give big splashy photo ops for the narrative that America is a terrible place to invest and manufacture, which limits job opportunities for people who live here, particularly in the cities.
The only violence against elites is against the statues of dead ones. There too though, the effect is on the living, and that effect is one more step toward erasing an inconvenient past, where people really did rise up against their oppressors, and win.
It’s the inquisition. This is an attempt to slap us back down. There has been growing populism popping up in all sorts of inconvenient places and the powers that be want things back the way they were, and that doesn’t end well for the workers.
There are other examples of peasant movements being put down through divide and conquer and the use of terrorism. There are also examples of the peasants language being controlled in order to try to control their minds. I’m really not sure why you are so bent on this not being the Inquisition, but maybe there are other examples in history. It’s just that there is a component of this that involves an uncritical faith, and religion fulfills that criteria. The Communist takeovers never maintain that for too long. With the British empire you had the globalism and the same disdain for the common people in the colonies. The Brits didn’t leave a mess like the Continental types did in their colonies, and I suspect our globalists dreams will turn to ashes as they are enabling the new Nazis in the form of Xi and the CCP under him. So I guess there’s another historical precedent, though we are told we are horrible people if we talk about Nazis. The Weimar Republic was going through all sorts of shenanigans, trying to change the government so that they could regain power. That’s happening with the Democrats trying to get rid of the electoral system or invent new states in areas friendly to that party so they can get more senators, among other things. Thing is that I don’t think we’re Germany in this, though the Dems are trying to manipulate our system to regain power, I think we’re more like Poland.
