You can't have a revolution if everyone is living paycheck to paycheck and missing even one day could jeopardize their housing.

You definitely can have armed revolution. Some form of "imbalanced economic conditions" is the most common STATED reason for violent revolution, which the starving poor inevitably participate in.
