A straight marxist analysis. Revolts don't come from the poorest but from educated people who think they aren't important enough - just a fact. The author has rediscovered Marx's false consciousness. The poor slobs have been tricked by the ruling class to be patsies. Why anyone pays attention to this stuff is a mystery to me. Perhaps its the old those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.
