I would imagine most Ethereum miners are pretty well off by now, so the "working class" analogy is really off.

Also "the ruling class" can not really force their rules on others.

Everybody participating in cryptocoins right now is hopefully aware that it is an experiment with uncertain outcomes. So the "promises were broken" thing doesn't really convince me, either. I don't think the users of Ethereum were promised a finished product.

"Code is law" also only applies if people accept the law. In the DAO case, people decided to change the law, or stick to Ethereum classic.
