Yes, but with the French Revolution, it basically just established a dictatorship in which Europe had to unite to defeat because Napoleon was invading other countries and then at the end of the day, the same problems still remained for ordinary French citizens. In the case of the of the Russian revolution, it did not solve those problems for ordinary Russian citizens either. And they faced having to deal with a dictatorship and a police state to boot. So, the ordinary Russian, despite the Soviet revolution, lived in terrible poverty as well plus a police state led by Josef Stalin.
The far leftist revolutions did not resolve the underlying economic problems and poverty of the ordinary citizen. However, post World War II in the U.S. and in Western Europe after the Marshall Plan and in Australia saw standard of livings increase and ordinary people live much better and the rich were still rich. They didn't own 15 mansions. They might have owned two or three mansions instead. But they were still rich.
And the ordinary people lived a very nice and comfortable standard of living. All without the need of a leftist revolution. World Wars I and II helped to bring about these systemic changes that made this possible because you had more state involvement in the economies of the US, Western Europe and Australia but they were not planned economies like the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
