Gustav's Theory of Revolution

[Pollux V]

Has anyone read this document, or documents relating to it? I learned about Gustav's Theory of Revolution my sophomore year but didn't save any of the documents, and I've had a tough time finding it anywhere online. As far as I remember, it basically says that other than the obvious reasons for kindling a revolution, economic hardship etcetera, that the elites of a nation or society, disenfranchised by fellow elites, are the ones largely responsible for riling the public up enough for them to rebel.

The Changing of the Gaurd? America's shift from Democracy to feudalism.

[Pollux V]

Was it written by a guy named Gustav?

"that the elites of a nation or society, disenfranchised by fellow elites, are the ones largely responsible for riling the public up enough for them to rebel."

Sounds like the American revolution. And I think there were aspects of that in the French revolution, though i dont know much about it. Surely someone has come across it before?
