There is no such thing as a bottom up revolution. The plebs succesfully taking to the streets is the crystalization of the desired change by a sufficient amount of elites. It's a victory lap, not an instigating event.
The leadership of the French revolution was full of lawyers, newsmen, intellectuals, financiers, titled nobility, and military officers. How is that plebian?
Zanzibar Revolution? A random foreign criminal and a small bunch of black race war communists taking everything by surprise overnight. (Got sidelined later.)

More an example of once you release the hordes, you don't have full control over them.
