I don't love my rulers, I am severely critical of them. If the population was indoctrinated to love their rulers then there wouldn't be so many 14 year old emofags listening to greenday and convincing themselves they are sticking it to the man.
I'm using the sociology's definition which is to change society, not the standard definition of revolution which is abstractly the replacement of rulers by those ruled. So I would view the american and russian revolutions as failures since slavery was not abolished in America until 90 years after the revolution and the russian revolution resulted in a despotism not a communist utopia.
The only question here is how revolutions effect social evolution in the decades after the revolution compared to if the revolution had not occurred.
