It’s not that the middle class has no power, it simply has too much to lose if they choose to revolt.
What if your revolution fails and you lose your money and your house? What if it succeeds and your new government decides you have too much?
That is why the middle class is a stabilising force in country’s politics. And if they lose their stuff, and feel like they have nothing to lose but their chains, then some higher ups lose their heads.
Ah yes Russia, please antagonise the country with one of the highest artillery shell stockpiles and production capacities in the world, what bad thing could result from that?

A light shade of Payne’s gray, I think.
All languages that are used are kinda broken, except the synthetic ones, like Esperanto.
The amount of exceptions and weird rules in non-English languages I speak (Lithuanian and Swedish) and kinda know (Russian) proves it.
[‘a’] + [‘b’] = ‘ab’
Gets me every time.
