“Revolutions do not tend to arise from abject poverty, but rather from deteriorating economic conditions. Those on the verge of starvation make unlikely ‘true believers’ and followers of populist movements, as their daily struggle for existence is more important than any broader political concerns.

They bitterly recall their former wealth and blame others for their current misfortune…..They feel the system is rigged against them and the future is not as bright as the past.”-The myth of capitalism
