I missed the joke*

So you agree the peasants have never ruled. But your example (of the next best thing? closest we've ever come?) hasn't ended well for the peasants.

Yay for the peasants overthrowing the czars, I guess. But if that just leads to the oligarchs, I wouldn't exactly point to it as something to try again.

* Not missed as in "didn't see it" but missed as in "didn't think it was funny".
