in feudal times ordinary people would have wanted to be a king or a lord, it doesn't make it right and it doesn't mean they didn't want, fought for, and died for a revolution.

EDIT: Abridged for clarity

Throughout history, plenty of people have sought out and been fine with a life of subsistence and, where possible, peace. It’s actually more telling when someone can NOT conceive of a life that’s completely soaked in foul consumption and exploitation. Not everyone would want to be a king or lord. Lots would NOT.
