No, he was not.
In fact, if there would have been another person in his place on the throne at that time, there still would have been a revolution. Revolutionary feelings weren't new, the bourgeoisie had already had them back in the time of Louis XIV who had build Versailles, which drained the treasury, and Louis XIV made the bourgeoisie (not the nobility and not the clergy) pay taxes to fill the huge gap. By the time it was Louis XVI's turn on the throne, France was bankrupt and taxes were sky high.
