"Rev 2:28 And I will give him the morning star."
Poor Men Win in Revolution
SECTION I: DIRECT AID BY GOVERNMENT TO PERSONAL ACCOUNT
Each person must have his or her account in the central bank.
If he or she is out of job or without income needed for decent living, the Government order the central bank to infuse an appropriate amount of money into his or her account.
This scheme must be adopted from a humanitarian view point based on universal justice of mankind.
But, this scheme will help economy develop with a desirable consumption level assured.
In a democratic and free social system supported by market economy, there is no reason to deny the infusion of an appropriate amount of money by the government into an account of each person.
It is so, since economics can develop also to offer a new theory that rationalizes the scheme.
The government should unconditionally give money to each person who needs it through an account he or she is entitled to have in the central bank.
You may laugh at this model, but it is similar to what Former Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Taro Aso did in 2009, providing cash of $130 for each Japanese citizen through his or her account in a city bank as a special measure to cope with the great recession triggered by Lehman Shock (one family got, accordingly, $520 or so).
If this amount had been $520 or 50,000 yen per person, Mr. Aso and the LDP must have secured their regime from the DPJ led by Mr. Yukio Hatoyama, incumbent P.M. of Japan, in the summer of 2009.
To make it sure, I myself did not receive that $130, since I did not want to give my bank account number to public officials not in charge of national taxation.
SECTION II: The Two Heroes vs. The First Chinese Empire
The first Chinese empire Qin Dynasty (221 BC–206 BC) was destroyed by two heroes: Xiang Yu (Ko-u in Japanese) and Liu Bang (Ryu-hou in Japanese).
---------
Xiang Yu (simplified Chinese: 项羽; traditional Chinese: 項羽; pinyin: Xiàng Yǔ; Wade-Giles: Hsiang Yü; 232 BC – 202 BC) was a prominent military leader and political figure from the late Qin Dynasty period of Chinese history. His personal name was Ji (籍) and Yu (羽) was his style name.

Emperor Gao (256 BC or 247 BC – 1 June 195 BC), commonly known within China by his temple name, Gaozu (Chinese: 高祖; pinyin: Gāozǔ, Wade-Giles: Kao Tsu), personal name Liu Bang (Wade-Giles: Liu Pang), was the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, ruling over China from 202 BC to 195 BC.

---------
What I want to discuss here is that you need two different types of super-heroes to stop, defeat, and destroy great power.
In short, Xiang Yu was a super warrior who did not mind being surrounded by 200,000 enemy troops in siege warfare as long as he had enough soldiers; in most cases eventually Xiang Yu took on 200,000 enemy troops without mercy even after making them prisoners.
Liu Bang was liked by ordinary people as he did not exercise evil power on others mercilessly. Local small-time leader-turned general Liu Bang could understand ordinary people and find merit of talented people. In the final phase of the rivalry between the two heroes, as Liu Bang promised huge territories to some powerful war lords, they joined Liu Bang to overwhelmingly outnumber the Xiang Wu's camp, which decided the case after the two great heroes destroyed the Qin Dynasty.
Yet, the Great Qing Dynasty had to be defeated in fierce large-scale battles against Xiang Yu and lose support of war lords, great scholars and strategists, generals, soldiers, and finally people to Liu Bang if the first Chinese empire had been destined to fall, which actually happened. It is so since Qin had excellent scholars and strategists, courageous and able generals, and so many strong troops since the days of First Emperor Zheng.
When the Han Dynasty was established by Liu Bang as emperor, Confucianism revived in China.

Which would be happier for a man to die seeing revolution coming true or not?
As Jesus Christ himself is revolution, it is far better to see revolution coming true before one's own death.
Indeed, it must be sad to die believing that the First Chinese Empire would last forever or people will never do away with money for ever.

Rev 2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
Rev 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
Rev 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
Rev 2:28 And I will give him the morning star.
