Then what are you talking about?

I'm running out of names for that advent, so here's the last one, I'm sorry but you're just too semantically demanding. So here goes - Springtime of the Peoples

As for the rest. Are you seriously claiming that there were no uprisings or revolutions since 1850? Brother, I'm sure you can do some better research.

Or are you looking for something more spectacular, the full-blown worldwide revolution, and anything smaller than that is just too futile for your taste.

    That's not my claim at all.

    My claim is that systemic change hasn't occured.

    It doesn't matter if "uprisings" or "revolutions" occur if they don't lead to systemic change. For example, the french revolution lead to a dictatorship. Which isn't a win.

    None of these "revolutions" have lead to any real systemic change. Key word: systemic. Not just measly concessions like "women can vote now" or "workers can get the weekend 'off' ".

    Or are you looking for something more spectacular, the full-blown worldwide revolution, and anything smaller than that is just too futile for your taste.

    It doesn't need to be global, no. But it must lead to lasting, relevant systemic change in favour of the common man, yes.
