That's mostly wrong, if you take another look at it.
The American revolution was rich aristocrats shaking off the power that the British ones had over them.
The Russian revolution (October 1917) was a military coup that the Bolsheviks pulled off by subverting enough of an army tired of war - the democratic February revolution hadn't taken Russia out of WWI.
The French revolution was a religious one - the encyclopedists had found a revelation, and by gosh they were going to islam the rest of the world with it.

French Revolution was also a way for the "bourgeoisie" (the riches, basically) to get the power that was still held by the aristocracy. So, actually people that had lots of money and thought they deserved to have more power.
