you're missing an important variable. people are willing to protest over meaningless shit compared to what they would protest over 300 years ago, but that's also because protesting right now is a risk-free disneyland experience. protesting is fun because there's nothing at stake, you don't get in trouble for protesting, especially not over "twinkies".

none of these people are going to give up their incredibly comfortable lives to fight to the death so that - IF THEY SOMEHOW WIN - they can try out an untested or a previously failed economic system.
i'm pretty confident in saying that there has never been a time in history where people have been less willing to roll the dice and die to hit a reset button on society
