Haven't watched it so I'm just dog-piling, but personally I'm not risking wasting 90 mins of my life on something with such a reductive title and thumbnail.
Former empires and new imperial powers just had enough levers to pull to stymie the threat of labour revolutions internally while escalating military technology. Since industrialized countries didn't experience revolutions, capitalists were able to coordinate how to ameliorate their populations (unsustainably) with the spoils of their former empires and burgeoning imperial projects, and use control of the press to divide those populations internally. That the revolutions occurred in those states which had been relieved of their historical wealth is certainly far more consequential than any missteps which occurred there as a result of someone in a leadership position having come from a family which benefited from the previous system.
