Yeah but a lot of that 30-40% still fall hook, line and sinker for this shit.
Honestly I think cheap treats, (barely) functional infrastructure and the internet do a lot to cool the anger of even the poorest of the poor. The czars would probably still be in power in feudal Russia had McDonald’s, Instagram and like 50% more paved roads.
McDonald’s is getting more expensive tho so maybe change is on the horizon.
As much as I dig Lenin I’ve never cared for that quote. There’s been plenty of places where people went without way more than three meals and didn’t have a revolution.

As Lenin said, every country is only three unhappy meals away from a revolution.
Sadly, also one Pizza Hut away from counter-revolution.
