Nobody benefits from a revolution? Tell that to the French and the Germans!

seriously? German? you mean the 1918/19 revolution that eventually helped to cause WWII? surely Hitler benefited a lot from the German Revolution of 1918/19!

You tell me how Nazi could possibly raise to the very top without the help of that very beneficial revolution? maybe time to read more history books and come back with better trolling skills?

He was probably referring to the 1848 revolution.
two German revolutions, one probably okay/good, while the other one was a total disaster for the entire humanity. with this in mind, I'd probably argue that revolution is bad in general.

I do agree that it is always good for some political speculators.

You'll have to disregard the wars inbetween the revolution and the profiting though.
