It seems like the sheer numbers are neither listening, nor have enough free time on their hands to overwhelm the pig cops because they probably have to work two or three jobs to barely make all their payments plus interest, and they are not ready to leave them anytime soon. Perhaps because they're not really fond about the idea of getting pepper-spread all day and all night long, every day, nor plastic-bulleted, or even just shot at for real by US Marines if they were to ever succeed at overwhelming the pig cops for just once...
Look, this is 2012. Not 1772, nor 1872. The only sheer numbers we would need would have to be big enough to shut down the Economy for three weeks. That's the only way the owners will concede to anything. Famine for three weeks. Refuse to cooperate. Not just 100,000, half a million, or 30 million workers: 200 million of them AT ONCE.
Other than that, keep working for incremental steps because sudden change will simply not happen.
