American rebels (Jefferson) considered the French revolutionaries their children, European anti imperialist revolutionaries (Lincoln) liberating all people of color, their grandchildren, the Bolsheviki (Wilson) liberating all serfs and conquering all classes higher than peasants, their great grandchildren, and Mao (FDR) putting Chinese coolies in world domination, their crowning achievement, the fourth turning.
That is the correct generational analysis.
