Didn't overlook that fact at all because it was a different time and a different type of revolution. It was a revolution for self-determination not a revolution to completely remake the political system of an existing country. A lot has happened in the centuries since. In the modern vernacular revolution has come to mean marxist/communist revolution. And the current and real threat is actual marxists/communists (Antifa, Revcom USA, CPUSA, Socialist Workers Party, Open Society Foundations, etc.) protesting and rioting in the streets and not a bunch of tea party grannies and grampies yelling at kids to get off of their lawn.



Just today there were communists waving communist flags protesting and disrupting mail service outside of a Canada Post depot in Ottawa because of an ongoing labour dispute. Granted, there weren't many of them but they were there all the same. Make of that what you will but they were communists not tea party.



Anyways, this conversation is impossible to continue without getting too political so I bow out. Your points have been well made and civil unlike some of the snarkier and condescending posters.



A final point about the song - good music, regrettable message. IMHO.here
