@mattblaze The 1st revolution, sure, but all bets are off when the second wave of revolutionaries can and quite possibly will come along fairly soon afterwards. I felt this principle was well-illustrated in the movie "Burnt by the Sun":

The book 1984 also has this theme; please refer to the scene where the old guard, who drinks together at a pub, is well-beaten-up.

@mattblaze So you’re saying I’ll get to rename the calendar months, French Republic-style? ON IT!

i'm sure you've heard the "comes the revolution, you'll do as you're damned well told" joke. :)
