The French Revolution occurred during a period of massive social change and incredible growth in the economy.

Even the king was in favor of democratic reforms.

Not everyone agreed!

Currently we are also experiencing "a period of massive social change and incredible growth in the economy".

Also from the original article - "Once upon a time, the United States had the largest and most thriving middle class in the history of the world. That was a great thing. But now the middle class is being destroyed and government dependence has surged to an all-time high."

That 'once upon a time' period, the United States recognized personal properties (ownership of wealth), now we have the professional agitator in chief "you didn't build that' leading the mob.

And we are not talking about the >90% peasant class in the past, these are the 50% 'paid idle poor'.
