There seems to be an opinion in historical and military circles that people who are barely getting by don't revolt. They are too busy putting food on the table. You get a revolution when people have a hope that things are getting better, and when that hope is frustrated. Not absolute poverty but relative and subjective poverty.
There is another line of thought which relates revolution to the bread prices, so that's not the only explanation for revolutions ...
I don't have time to look for many sources, just this for the first case and this for the second.
