I don't want an argument. You just made a vague but potentially interesting assertion, and I am curious about what you are referring to. But your lack of willingness to give any real examples leads me to believe you have none.
Edit in response to edit:
Examples: American and French revolutions. Various Communist revolutions. Various violent and non-violent conflicts leading to constitutional monarchy and then democracy in England (with similar situations in the rest of Europe). Various revolutions against colonialism.
However, by your own definition of the problem, none of these have been very successful over the long term.
