How is this not pie in the sky? Billions of people derive their sustenance from the status quo and they're not crying out for bread ( extreme deprivation seemingly being a precondition for overthrow of the ruling strata) A total reorganization of the economy, that is, a revolution, requires more than an awareness that the ultra rich are screwing everybody else. It requires, for one thing, organization of the revolutionary forces. This is something that the ruling class are experts at defusing.
I think you are mistaken in writing that "extreme deprivation seemingly being a precondition for overthrow of the ruling strata"). Please read my article, "Confidence, Not Suffering, Drives Revolution" at https://www.pdrboston.org/confidence-not-suffering-drives-revolt to see why.
