For this argument, let's say that's correct.  Now, how many of the Middle think they are just workers with sheepskins?  Not many, I think. most believe they're on par with the Upper Middle, just not as lucky as they are.  Good luck fomenting a revolution on that.

Considering how long we've been waiting, I doubt it will ever happen.  We've already passed 150 years since Das Capital was published.  It's Marx seminal work.  If not now, when?

The next awakening or crisis, though I doubt it will be violent.  Violence is so Industrial Age.  But the division of wealth is getting close to being the biggest problem with the culture.  It is due to be addressed.

Have you watched the news lately?

I'll agree with Bob: the problem is getting obvious; the solution, not so much.  The MAGA types think they're on the case, and they know it's those damn libs.  Since MAGA is a big part of your proletariat, you need to find a way to address them.  For now, they think anyone not white enough and Christian enough is the enemy. I suspect you would fail the Christian enough test, but give it a whirl.
