We have all been proper f*cked.

First is something I know too little about. The history of Banking suggests they are the infrastructure support for all rulers or revolutionaries. They determine policy, wreck reforms(Socialists in post WWI Germany, bad influence on FDR). Even pariah states embargoed come around to some deal. They serve until crisis wipes some of the little guts out. They rode through 1789 the same way, profited off of Empire and survived.

Second: Napoleon lived in fear as all the French did. Leading revolutionaries had more to fear from each other and literally wiped each other out. The Terror thugs were executed. Few monarchs(incompetent mostly) get decapitated but Napoleon came close before having power and retained home enemies willing to try it again. His European competitors were Emperors. Stability impresses banks. He claimed he really wanted the British model and a gentlemanly retirement as any Prime Minister. Of course, by then he was being held in captivity by his British hosts. He was safer on St. Helena. France went through many unsatisfying pendulum swings right through WWII. The sham of "nobility" declined though the power of money elites continued(from which most crowned "royalty" descends).

Changing the world means changing the power structure of TPTB in mammon matters. This is where anti-human corruption is embedded in infrastructure people vitally need. In the wide picture, people are not all that different in needs and goals that are socially constructive, nor all that different in chaos and mayhem. In the BIG picture the core of our problems remains relatively unscathed, unconfronted, and untouched in the stranglehold of central money abuse. And that money "management" core is allowed to be insanely diseased and all powerful to the point of ignoring planeticide. It is why the GOP is nuts and why the Dems act weak and people shy away from going after the most unaccountable villains.
