but the very rich did not loose much wth the French Revolution either

So some lost their heads (literally) most didn't

Nor did they loose their shirts during every major recesion or depresion in the world

Yes they are entangled, but they will not loose their shirts, not even close

You know why?

Unlike you and me, they do NOT live in the economy. those of us who do are in for a hell of a time

And as to Latin people able to carry out street actions... the militaries in Latin America are quite practiced in the methods of represion that would make us blanch.

Again, if you think that the bushies will not be safe at the ranch, I have a bridge to sell you

As an actual student of history I know history does not repeat itself pattern for pattern but only when you have outright imperial failures do you have even close to a hope for elites to loose more than just a couples hours of sleep.

So if you are hopping for Rome to fail, or perhaps the British East India Company... then you may see that... but a depresion... so they will not be able to afford two boats this year, or this decade, big fricking boo... you and I will not be able to afford bread.
