Miles: After the active minority succeeds, the rest of the population conform to the new social reality.

Somebody: Is that what you're still aiming for? A new revolutionary order that folks just "conform" to? That sure worked the last couple dozen times around.

At best, it means low work productivity and black market capitalism.
