That's a great question, possibly the defining question, and I think the answer is a resounding "No". Humans seem to rarely buck the system, so it's much easier to deal with the occasional seed individual before the problem becomes systemic. And "deal" doesn't mean remove, as it's pretty easy to destabilize revolt when you have the right information. And boy do we have access to lots of information. Plus, how would a revolution change anything? The newly powerful would behave the same way the old guard did.
