Give the Revolutions podcast by Mike Duncan a listen. The French revolution was not what it seems... it was elites vs. elites, not peasants vs. monarchy.

It's always elites vs. elites. The problem now is that there's plenty of elites on the outs. Elite overproduction and all that.

It's not as simple as that. I don't think any of Jean-Clément Martin books are translated to english, but its really not as simple as that.

Yeah, what a weird take. As if La Bastille was attacked by French aristocracy. This argument only holds if you hold 2 very loose claims. 1) To confuse the leaders with the whole movement. 2) To compare the rag-tag group of young lawyers, acerbic journalists, disgruntled politicians with the whole ancien regime.

Mike Duncan is an entertainer, not a professional historian.
