QUESTION

William Cobbett, the English Radical and reformer, wrote in the 1820s of the causes in his opinion of revolutions:

  • William Cobbett, the English Radical and reformer, wrote in the 1820s of the causes in his opinion of revolutions: "The truth is, that you hear nothing but fools talk of revolutions made for the purpose of getting possession of people's property. They never have their spring in such motives. They are caused by Governments themselves; and though they do sometimes cause a new distribution of property to a certain extent, there never was, perhaps, one single man in this world that had anything to do, worth speaking of, in the causing of a revolution that did it with such a view." (The peculiar phrasing, punctuation, and emphasis in this statement is Cobbett's). Discuss the accuracy of this statement in the context of the revolutionary experience in modern European or Western history (i.e. since the 18th century).
