Remember, the power elite depend more on others than any other group. No one depends on the power elite except the other power elite. When the SHTF, the power elite will be gone.
Unfortunately, history has shown us otherwise. Tell me the last revolution that worked. In fact, tell me any revolution that worked in changing the world order.
Not the Bolshevik revolution, not the French revolution, not the revolutions in South America.
I'm actually on your side - I want revolutions and I want them to work. But being a realist, I don't see in the evidence from history of them working.
you say >> "Because the other 98% would say fuck you and kill them" Unfortunately, that's now how the world works. I wish it were. I wish it was that simple. The 98% have been subjugated by the rest for a while now. I wish it somehow changes, but I'm not holding by breath...
Yes, that is a possible lead-in to the downfall of the US, but it will take action by the populace to finalize the end of the power elite.

That is the Thought Process of the Feral Coupist gov. And mine as Well. Si vis pacem, para bellum.

Why would they be gone if they control half of the world's resources?
They could hire anyone looking for work and pay them in cash.

You are living in a dream world. We are talking about the SHTF, not people looking for work. You don't seem to understand what a revolution is.
How do you kill those who live in impenetrable gated communities?

The American Revolution.

Do you have a solution?
