Then what brought on the French Revolution? The Mexican Revolution? Poverty leads to instability. Instability leads to Revolution. Why did Marie Antoinette get her head cut off? Because the people were glad with being middle class and having enough to buy their bread?

Poverty leads to instability.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

If that were true, revolution would be as common as poverty itself. Removing the rights and responsibilities of the Individual are what leads to revolution. If you remove the right of self-determination from a people, you will get revolution almost automatically, without further oppresion of the people.
