Ehhh... I'm not so sure that's a very good "law of history" to live by...

  Red Guards
  
  The Red Guards were a mass, student-led, paramilitary social movement mobilized by Chairman Mao Zedong in 1966 until their abolishment in 1968, during the first phase of the Cultural Revolution, which he had instituted. According to a Red Guard leader, the movement's aims were as follows: Chairman Mao has defined our future as an armed revolutionary youth organization .... So if Chairman Mao is our Red-Commander-in-Chief and we are his Red Guards, who can stop us? First we will make China Maoist from inside out and then we will help the working people of other countries make the world red ... and then the whole universe. Despite meeting with resistance early on, the Red Guards received personal support from Mao, and the movement rapidly grew. The movement in Beijing culminated during the "Red August" of 1966, which later spread to other areas in mainland China. Mao made use of the group as propaganda and to accomplish goals such as seizing power and destroying symbols of China's pre-communist past ("Four Olds"), including ancient artifacts and gravesites...

  @aggualaqisaaq -- Nazi student groups didn't fight against the ruling class... They WERE the ruling class.
  Same for the Red Guard.
  In Iran, student movements are still running things there and you simply selected ONE example of many.
  Again, you didn't read the meme completely or you didn't understand it.
  Again, I'm still assuming English is your second language.
