"If the working class had as much class solidarity as the ruling class has there never would've been a ruling class."

Romantic fantasies and Les Miz aside, as long as the 1% stay united, revolutions do not happen when the 99% revolt and overthrow the 1%, because the 1% will do whatever it takes to retain power.

Revolutions happen when the 1% are divided amongst themselves, usually as a result of a disagreement how to respond to external threat or a dispute over how to divvy up spoils.
