Yes, I was also surprised by that, but it certainly makes sense. Like Lenin and Trotsky came from the educated and upper classes. As well as most folks back when. Only the wealthy and the church had educated people in them. (men, of course). Also, because the poor never did have anything, just as minorities (such as African Americans) have always had it difficult and struggling. So they are less apt to be bitter and angry. I am certainly bitter and angry how this country has turned from the country I grew up in. But then again, I was working class, and bought all the memes and lies of the past for way too long.
