This lesson the world don't learnt since the October Revolution of 1917 in Russia.

In fact, the Tsar regime of the Russian Empire fell months earlier, but the fall of the regime to the supposedly non-bolsheviks was only a step, a interlude to the great and definitive "regime change" of Lenin and his Soviet Union.

If you have in one side a dictator or authoritarian monarch, and in the other side you have a revolutionary that have utopian plans to "fundamentally transform the nation" with totalitarian ideas, by totalitarian means (even if they don't spoken this openly, but could be perceived clearly to anyone that study his ideas), don't be fooled and don't have doubts: the revolutionaries, if they obtain the power, will install a regime much worse than that they overthrew.

International socialists (aka communists and fabian socialists), national socialists (aka nazis) and supremacist islamists, all of them have a revolutionary mindset and intend to transform the world by totalitarian means. This revolutionary ideas are responsible by hundreds of millions of dead people.

Compared to them, the greedy dictators and monarchs are much less lethal, killing much less humans.

This is a lesson that must be learned. Sadly, until now the mankind continue to ignore that lesson, which only pave the way to the next mass killings.
