Surely you jest. The last time anything remotely resembling that happened was over 80 years ago, with far higher unemployment which had persisted for (by the '32 election) almost 3 years nationally, and longer in the south & west. And even then, the prole revolt (such as it was) had sputtered to a halt by, at the latest, 1938.
