"They eventually have enough, and coalesce as a group to become powerful enough to force change, typically with taxes, minimum wages, and labor unions."
Typically? You wish!
Look at what happened in many states of Latin America. They have huge inequality problem. And they are not closer to solving it than they were half a century ago.
What IMHO usually happens is the rise of authoritarian populism. Until the inequality is addressed, it might then oscillate between fascism (like Pinochet) and populist-socialism (like Chavez).
P.S. I like the blog post overall, except it completely ignores the ecological crisis and global warming.
