I am skeptical that incompetence promoting peasant revolt is the fuel for revolutions
It seems to me that usually revolutions are led by members of the oligarchic class forming a counter-elite
English, French, Russian revolutions all follow this pattern
Even something like the defeat of the Kapp Putsch (by general strike) was effectively led by the pre-existing privileged class
