      The balance of power is dramatically different now.

      Then the people had long sticks with sharp points, the government had long sticks with sharp points.

      Now the people have AR15s, the government had B52s that can drop Ninja bombs from 40,000 feet and kill you while you’re having a cigarette on your balcony.

      He wasn’t part of a revolutionary army, he was an untrained lone gunman who was seriously outnumbered.

      Also, pretty much every successful revolution has had some outside force bearing down on the Establishment. Washington had the French Navy; the Viet Cong had Russia and China; Lenin had WW1 chaos on his side.
