Common Sense Political Revolutions: Always Inspired By Tyrannical Duncery

For thousands of years, voluntary markets have provided basic needs at economical prices. Otherwise, when authoritarians impose their will in inflating the price of everything while denying goods and services results in hardship. Let's call it enforced hardship. Such intrusion occurred into the early 1600s when veteran merchants in London called it Tyrannical Duncery and in becoming "too much" the destruction prompted reform. History records essentially two kinds of revolution: the bad which results in dictatorships and the good which reforms dictatorships. The French and Russian Revolutions were preceded by dissatisfaction that prompted popular uprisings. In 1789 and 1917 economic and political distress became unendurable, but the popular movement fell into the hands of neurotic intellectuals whose remedy was absolute control. Then as the struggle for control became bitter activists resorted to state murder, initially of those that wanted an ordinary life. And at higher levels of power, the struggle for leadership involved killing the guy across the table.
