He's referring to an "exploited worker" one the fool Marx would call a proletariat. And he asks how would you feel if you came home at the end of the day and on the TV was John fucking Lennon.
I think what he's saying is Lennon was out of touch from the common man. Marx wasn't in touch either. Never really worked or did anything.
Not everything can be learned from sitting in a library and mooching off of wealthy friends.
It depends. You can win the support of the proletariat by promising them a better future. But that entails that their present circumstance are already very dire. That's the main reason why revolutions happen, but they almost always revert to how they were before.

Marx did work actively as a journalist. He didn't just "sit in a library."
