You make some excellent points. Of course your perspective above is based primarily on western industrialized models and not, let's say, Latin America or India, where the ruled are not afraid to take matters in their own hands, like in Cocachamba, Bolivia where they threw out Bechtel or in India, where a mob lynched a CEO that had laid them all off. The sides in those cases were very clear to the people, but have been obscured here in the US. That may change as more and more people become homeless and catch on to what is happening to them and why.
