It was the other way around.

The revolution was led by rich assholes whose only goal was growing their power and wealth.

That's what a nation state is.

We're all one species, we're kept hostile towards one another to protect the hoards of the respective nation state's elites.

We wouldn't be destroying our sole, shared, COMMUNal habitat if we were cooperating as a species instead of undermining ourselves at every turn.
