Very interesting and truthful.

In researching history, one thing that pops out at me is that the various "red" revolutions, from France to Russia to Spain, all came from the dissatisfied upper crust and lower class, and often went against the middle class.

Similar trends are shaping up here.

Yes that is exactly right and it is true of the freer societies of the ancient world also.
