Actually, the Danish social revolution of the late 19th century was remarkably polite - the landowners gave their land to worker-owned cooperatives, which kick-started the middle classes, welfare state, and eventually one of the highest SOL in the World.
But how many times do the wealthy/elites ever do anything genuinely noble and sacrificing?
And how often do they double down on their privileges, and find willing poor people to use violence to maintain them?
You're right - those scales do not balance at all.
The result may not be pretty when it does.
