Let's do a thought experiment.

You have a group of people who grumble about the status quo but are fed information that any change to the status quo is bad for them.

There's a filthy rich dude who controls the information they are being fed.

You have two options:

1. Campaign for the removal of the filthy rich dude, redistribution of wealth, hard left turn, and - essentially - a revolution.
2. Campaign to get them slightly better protection, and a bit more money. Get them comfortable with that, and then campaign for more changes.

Number 1 has around 0,00001% of succeeding.

Number 2 has around 30% of succeeding.

Which do you choose?
