Hold on to your butts, comrades. We're about to get a preview of 2050. I just checked the live data, and the area off the coast of South America that is the index water for ENSO is 9° F above average in places. This is going to be a wild year.
You're describing the bourgeoisie. they're invested in the system because the system works for them. They don't lead the revolution, they're the counter revolutionaries.
Either (1) the system will break down so much that it's not worth it for him to support it because it no longer enables his material comfort, then he can join the revolution, or (2) as the system breaks down, he'll fight for the last remaining scraps divvied out to loyalists and become an enforcer against the changing tides. Realistically, he'll enjoy luxury and comfort the rest of his days, and his descendents will have to make those decisions.
They have a choice to make, we can't make it for them. Socialism or barbarism.
