One thing I learned from my own experience is that real revolutionary change doesn't just happen because "people" decided to stand up. There's a missing and crucial variable to this to become successful. You see, in the U.S., our founding fathers were all pretty wealthy and really educated. These guys weren't just people off the street. In order to make the "people" stand up and win, you need wealthy leaders that have the financial backing that can support such revolutions with high-level connections where they can establish trade agreements, international contracts, shape domestic policies, and actually form a standing structural government, etc... Otherwise you end up like Haiti where the "people" revolted but nobody intelligent and wealthy remained.
