I sensed a moral emphasis but being fair, on rereading it may be a projection on my part. Tho if we're talking inevitable process then we might say that its both inevitable that stronger groups conquer and that its also inevitable they be overthrown once that strength fades.

Interesting thing to me is why the power holding up the racial aristocracy faded. I don't think the mere fact of oppression explains the actualisation of a revolt. It certainly suggests the potential, but had the Apartheid regime not been despised in the West it probably survives

I wouldnt say I like believing it personally, but it seems correct. You can say a particular revolution is the necessary outcome of brutal oppression, but then youre left having to explain the long periods of oppression where no revolution occurs. Are they just not brutal enough?

I like JF Boshers The French Revolution on this, though admittedly in that case theres no racial element so that has to be considered. How important is the racial character of a hierarchy to explaining its vulnerability?
