revolution - popular revolution, not the coup d'etat style revolution that the U.S. often supports - must be driven by change of not only the ownership of the means of production, but the means of production themselves. In fact, is it not revolution of the means of production that alters the class structure, and then creates subsequent chain reactions of socio-political class struggle. The historical project of political revolution has always overthrown overdetermined power structures that have failed to assimilate the needs of the changing class structure due to industrial revolution. By maintaining the paradigm of everyday middle class life, the populous stifles its own development, since the middle class consists of so-called "middle men" - the poor remain the majority of workers, and the rich remain the expropriators of property and means of production. Only through the expropriation of the expropriators can the means of production be revolutionized. The people are the only ones who have the ability of bringing better, more efficient technologies of energy to their communities, for instance, because they are concerned about general welfare and not the profits of a few shareholders. Once the people take the charge to fill the lacuna of overdetermined power structures, they will have already practicably overthrown the leviathan of the bourgeoisie and its middle class, bureaucratic lapdog.
