This is it really. Who doesn't have a car that wants one? Who doesn't have a tv? Who doesn't have the Internet? Who doesn't live to a good age? And moreso in europe: who doesn't have free health care? Who doesn't get a living allowance and shelter when they're out of work? Who can't afford to fly and stay in other countries(£20 flights if you're not picky). Hell, you've even got a country debating whether or not to give every citizen a salary, for free!

The fact is that the poorest people have things that kings couldn't have a 100 years ago. You're going to have a hard time persuading people to rise up under these conditions. And really, why should they?
