Take the French Revolution where the King was ousted and a new power was bought in, the so called public power lead by the bourgeois. After what happened. The reign of terror, every person speaking against Robespierre was silenced. The public was set back into the poverty and injust they tried to get away from by participating in the revolution.
Take for the Russian Revolution. Similar situation of France. At the end of it the public were again back into the poverty and injustice, and their freedom of thought and expression was curtailed.
What happened in these revolution was only a changing of guards, new leaders came up and took the place of the previous leaders. For the public the people who actually fought for this change, they got back the same thing they were fighting against, maybe just in another form, change from royalty to public leaders. Then these leaders give into thier lust for power and everything goes haywire.
