7. I'll say it now: no
Setting aside whether "revolution" would achieve anything appreciably better, I think you wildly overestimate the share of the population that's both economically impacted AND politically engaged to do anything more than grumble.

Oh, and a question - as one of the top 1% in household income (forget about what I do in the way of community service and my support for Democratic Party principles like progressive taxation), will you be sending me to a re-eduction camp, or just lining me up against a wall?
