There has to be differences between riots, protests and revolutions. The aim of a revolution is to change the system of organization and management of production of goods and services and their distribution. To achieve this a project for a new system has to be available. This is generally a matter of revolutionary ideology. The events named revolutions in many cases take place without such ideology and the reasonable result is their feilures. The lesson is clear - the first and the most important step towards a revolution is creation of proper ideology. Unfortunately, in our days the socio-economic system is very complex and simple ideologies do not work, and to create proper one is very difficult. In addition it is more difficult to ensure people's understanding and support for it. It seems that no revolutions, but some kind of riots have taken place in Central America.
