The French Revolution and Oliver Cromwell and the English revolution destroyed feudalism and laid the economic / political framework for Capitalism.

The Chinese revolution united the country, threw out the western colonists and started to rebuild the country.

The wealthy do what is good for them as a class not what is good for their nation. Look at the French ruling class support for the German Nazis during WW" , or the way US capitalists have move industry from the US to cheap labor economies.
