2. It depends upon which people you are talking about.

Of course the bourgeoisie are "not ready for it". It's not in their interest to be.

But are working class folks ready for change - you bet they are. The question is more one of mechanics. When someone figures out how to harness the energy and fight back I think the support will be there. It's not going to be protests like Occupy or third parties that do it. That is good for awareness raising but it's not really threatening to the status quo. If unions, however, build and strengthen (unionize the service sector is obviously where this needs to go) then we could see some real resistance.
