I googled around and found this from a few years ago:

"Relying on industrial and post industrial workers for waging the revolution is

     bound to end in disappointment, for their revolutionary zeal declines 
directly

     in proportion to concessions from management.

     The only true revolutionary soldiers are the employed, the oppressed

     minorities, the ideological students, the committed intellectuals and

     professional revolutionaries.

     The rest of society would have to be led by the nose into the new 
socialist

     world order."

I'd call that elitist. The question is: is he as smart as he thinks he is? 
How much $ would you put in his investment fund?
