The massive segmentation between rich and poor is profound, poverty and utter immiseration are the lot of the many, the government is utterly corrupt and massively weak, and no one is able to contain or control the upheaval.

Social movements, however, do not and cannot create revolution. The causes of social revolution are structural and ultimately inevitable or the system adjusts and survives. Think the New Deal and the Great Depression. Adjustment and massive reform saved democracy and the nation. And thus revolutions that are seeking a massive alteration in wealth and class are not frequent because most nation states which are not inherently totally dysfunctional are capable of those reforms.

What ought to capture our attention is not just the causes, however, but the consequences. Social revolutions are always writ in the name of “the people”. They never once in human history have accomplished this task of improving the lot of the ordinary person. Not once. Not ever.
