Hence a Trump like character who is willing to say the system is corrupt, he is willing to snitch on the elite, claims no allegiance to a political party per se, drain the swamp in government as he puts it, cut through the red tape of bureaucracy....

Do you believe that? SERIOUSLY?? Trumpty may not be part of the elite in the way he'd like to be, but that's only because he's a lying, cheating scumbag. He only appeals to climbers, and not even to all of them.

And he does not want to "cut through the red tape of bureaucracy". He wants to destroy our governmental institutions so he can do as he damn pleases, without opposition.

B402, Again your simplistic certitude brings you easily undone

"Be it a facist or leftist revolution they all began with inequity as the root cause........."

Inequity has been a trait of every community since homo sapiens stopped living alone, could say like oxygen it is ever present where human communities are. Because it is always there then to say it is likely one factor of many in many different revolutionary minds, you perhaps could get away with in a group of scholars who know much more about the cause of revolutions than you or i will ever know.

But to say what you said is a nonsense clearly a nonsense. All you had to do was ask the question

Abstract

‘What causes revolutions?’ shows that revolutions are complex processes that emerge from the social order becoming frayed in many areas at once. There are five elements that create an unstable social equilibrium: economic or fiscal strain, alienation and opposition among the elites, widespread popular anger at injustice, a persuasive shared narrative of resistance, and favorable international relations. Revolutions have both structural and transient causes; structural causes are long-term and large-scale trends that undermine existing social institutions and relationships and transient causes are contingent events, or actions by particular individuals or groups, that reveal the impact of longer term trends and often galvanize revolutionary oppositions to take further action.

Is it that you are so stuck with your ego fix that your certainty serves as an aphrodisiac for it, i wonder.
