    The American war for Independence is a pretty sad example of revolution.

    Think of the average American, how much did their material conditions change? Now compare to the French Revolution, Haitian Revolution, and Bolshevik revolution.

    America by comparison, was just an “under new management”.

      Well the American revelolution was driven more by the rich or at least the mercantile class than the average person.

    Funny enough the gun in that scene is not loaded. When Melvin tries to shoot the monster he realizes he was lied to by someone trying to provoke him into action.

    Kinda ironic, with this meme.
