I fear we live in a post-revolutionary world.

I also think the same, although I'm somehow happy about it. With the current amount of weapons available, a revolution will conclude fast, and irreversibly, with the end of human race, and possibly all life on Earth. The time for armed action, in my opinion, has passed long time ago, we can't do that anymore.

But there are other types of actions, equally, if not even more powerful. Helping each other towards a common goal (which is the opposite of forcing others accepting our goal) might be one of them.
