Some people only want a revolution when they're in charge of it...

@AgendaFiles did I say everyone?

@AgendaFiles a lot of people are powerless but power hungry. They might defend a regime one moment, and spot their chance to seize control the next.

@AgendaFiles since when does more people in on a scheme make it sincere or legal? But more to the point, when the Free Officers took over Egypt, they outlawed any major cliques in government so that no one could take over like they did. They also deplored their predecessor's corruption whilst giving their cronies large cash "bonuses," extra leave days, wild drinking parties with prostitutes, and other perks. All the while insisting they took over for the good of the Egyptian people...

@AgendaFiles you have a excessively idealized perception of revolts. But note the term Revolution refers to the turning of a wheel on it's axel. All sorts of wars happened that are characterized as Revolutions, and sometimes the only difference between a coup, civil war, riot, and revolution which you want to call it. Again some people support/oppose such uprising based not on the national interest but their personal interest. Like how the Syrian Ba'ath was a conglomerate of Arab Socialist parties. However, after seizing power the only Socialist reform they introduced was nationalizing major businesses... Whose budget they treated as their personal pocketbooks. During the time when Syria went through a dozen governments in just as many years, however, there were many instances where the bottom line between a group's support/opposition was whether or not their bosses could get cut into the deal. There were coups within coups as party bosses knocked each other off so they could dominate the movement, and so on and so forth. Criminality knows no social barriers.
