In order to enable the enormous societal changes that you suggest Stallman should focus on (in what way? revolution?), you first have to secure freedom. With proprietary software, you never know what happens, whether you are being watched, if someone has access to your system. Eventually, governments can just require software companies to implement censorship and surveillance. In Stallman's vision, the only way out of this is to have complete control over your software. This means no nonfree software whatsoever. In parallel, he's very aware of the problem of user adoption, but accepting nonfree software in FOSS environments destroys the purpose. Therefore, the only way to achieve total freedom is to turn to the users. And this is done the following way: (1) make excellent FOSS alternatives, and (2) tell everyone the benefits of FOSS and point them to the excellent free software that was made.
