>>But if they don't play by those same rules they've got no credibility to kick start change<< What if the insiders, those less equal than some insiders' minority, holding the reins, do not like the rules? Social change means changing (also) the rules. To name an example close to US:"We shall overcome". Martin Luther King changed the rules (enforcing in this case was identical to changing), so Rosa Parks COULD go sit wherever she felt like sitting. How could he (they) do it? He/they resonated to the common idea. Change. Current reading: Machiavelli's prince - so dull, everything sounds so familiar. That was probably the impression also Lorenzo the Magnificent (de Medici) had when he got the book handed over ("in sign of deep affection and love of the Republic of Florence, signed N. Machiavelli")
