I'm fine with having a revolution. Scale back the police, let's have a war, fire off some cannons. I predict the same old elitists will be back in power within a decade of it happening.
The bulk of the elites never really change for the most part, even through revolutions and upheavals like in the late Roman Empire or China under Mao. The Son Also Rises by Gregory Clark is a great book that examines this.
