The problem is our power is diluted.

It is diluted, indeed. We are poor and many, they are rich an few. It is much easier to maintain coherence between them than between us. They can use mass media and other channels to incite even more conflict and division between the poor to keep them from mounting a meaningful resistance.

I don't think a social change will happen on its own or by revolution, but rather there will be improvements in life quality for the poor as new technology such as the internet and smart phones are made available for the masses at low prices. The standard of living has improved in the last 100 years a lot for everyone, and this trend is going to continue in the future.
