The bourgeois is a fickle thing when you can consider that the 1640 Anglo-Saxon revolution was led by the Levellers who won the communalisation of the Royal Lands into Commons while private land property of aristocrats remained untouched, it seems.

The Russian bourgeoisie was just as distant and pathetic during the 1905 Revolution led in the streets by the Jewish Bund.

The February 1917 event was a bourgeoisie revolution that could only endure until Lenin made it back on a wave of mass anti-war revolt.
