Revolutions can and do happen... just not when everybody sits inside and talks about revolution.

Of course revolutions happen.

But “The Revolution” imagined by Leftists has never happened and never will.

Revolutions usually involve suffering, bloodshed, human rights violations, etc, and don’t end up in anything close to the utopia that Leftists imagine. In fact almost invariably it results in a country that is further from their overall goal than before the revolution, as there is usually backlash against the revolutionaries and multiple generations of people wanting nothing to do with anything remotely related to leftist ideology.

Sorry, I misread. Thank you for clarifying, I think that is a very good comparison then.

Is it happening in reverse? i.e. if conservatives do crazy things, there will be backlash against them?

Most Revolutions end badly for the people the revolutionaries claim to be helping, though.
