Gene Sharp's description of the American Revolution provides an excellent example: In brief, Sharp contends that the war was largely a matter of the Crown attempting to take its colonies back over from their residents, who had negated most Crown authority through large scale non-cooperation and the development of parallel institutions rendering the Crown's administration obsolete.
Crass American Propaganda. There was no 'revolution', just a coup carried by the most corrupt 'aristocracy' aka oligarchy on the planet.

So-called revolutions that start with gunfire, end in Fascist police states
Or they start as a slave society, like the US, and remain a slave society for half its history, like the US, and then become a global fascist empire, like the US.
- because they are not revolutions so much as coups that kick out the old bastards to make way for new, worse bastards. When they "succeed" that's normally due to backing by hostile foreign powers.
That would be france backing slave owners jefferson and washington I suppose =)
