Fortunately not all the poor are ignorant and gullible. If outright armed revolution ever breaks out, you can expect at least some of the leaders to spring from their ranks. Unfortunately, armed revolutionaries all too often adopt the tactics of their oppressors and turn out to be no better at all in the end.
While holding tight my ultra-liberal beliefs, that's one reason I also remain an ardent supporter of center-left because there's the only real hope of progress w/o conflagration. Those who at least publicly claim to be far left (but are often libertarians, no better than RW teabaggers) seem to think they'll ride that tiger and come out ahead. They're too drunk on hubris to remember history. Very seldom does anyone really ride such a whirlwind unscathed. Far better to build on past advances and continue the progress - that's the Solidarity Democratic way, the only one that can be counted on to deliver and build w/o first destroying everything both good and bad.
Rant finished. For now.
