I find it plausible, because of my understanding of how revolutions happen. At the least, it's one view of things.
People who are really scraping to get by don't have the mental bandwidth to put time into revolution. You need people with spare time to organise to kick things off, and only then once you've started a movement you can get the masses on your side because you're offering an alternative.
