Rune, looking up for your thoughts.
One thing; I have seen this argument ("
First, history demonstrates that you don't need many people to change society for the better.") often and in fact I like it on first glance.
But.
It's mostly about violent change, one or the other way.
What one could ask is: if our stateship / political system was mostly given birth via a Constituent Assembly, it needed more than a few people.
So, if it's done peacefully and in due process you will need more than a few.
And, yes, it's naive to expect anything from the masses. And, yes the freerider 40% are a real problem for any progress. They will "defect" when they have nothing left to lose.
Again, what's needed on the societal layer is a "sly, roundabout way".
