Was struck by something BAP said on his show, that often before a revolution there is an obsession among the ruling class for a 'noble savage'. The Russian aristocracy had a cult of the peasant leading up to 1917, the French had Rousseaun Tahitian and Amazonian 'savages'

Not really in this case, it was a very niche movement and it didn't idolise the peasant like that, they were explicitly trying to capitalise (forgive the pun) on their discontent to make them support the revolutionary cause.
