The underdog is always predisposed to upset a hiearchical class structure. I think that is why the Founders scrupulously avoided a system of government based on privilege and class. Unfortunately, individualism is easily corrupted into egoism - a mindset that values competition over cooperation. Egoists are never content to be merely equal with their fellow men; thus they seek to establish a class hierarchy at every opportunity. The only way I see to prevent an endless succession of revolutions is to return to a proper valuation of the idea that all people are created equal.
