minority influence

It all depends on the cirstances and relative power. I would say the strategy is not bad, but it is by no means guaranteed to work.
Ghandi couldn't beat Stallin.
Or n for example if a governemnt is willing to use long term displacement to remove you then you are royally fucked liked the tibetans.

>How come tho these things often don't apply in the real world?
because in the end, they're still a minority

that being said, a vocal minority is still heard

and that theory can apply to the contemporary US

I must be messing the point somewhere here
if Moscovici was right then these minorities should have succeeded in changing the status quo
were their ideas too extreme?

>if Moscovici was right then these minorities should have succeeded in changing the status quo
If every minority became influential then the status quo would change day to day since there are a hell of a lot of minority beliefs

I meant every minority that satisfied these criteria in the OP
these student movements in china should have succeeded, they satisfied these criteria and they seemed to have changed how/what people thought about some stuff, at least for a couple weeks, and then the government scared the majority enough
if the status quo really changed, then people should have gone down on the streets even the day after the 4th of june, and also the week later and the month later until stuff changed
