What's interesting is that they are nothing without us.
We are in control of the world. The problem is that we do not work together, or choose anything different than what we have. (as a whole)
When people stress over this they think they have to worry about the top tier of people. When in reality it is the guy that wants the money for doing his job that will arrest you, or shoot you, or lock you up, your neighbor. It is the rest of the citizens of society that are the problem, not those that steer us as if we are blind.
If everyone were to stop being consumers the rate of destruction to this planet would instantly drop. But people are comfortable consuming.
If everyone were to stop reporting to a job the capitalist pyramid would crumble.
Those at the top are held up by us, kept in place by us. And they make us think of them instead of what our own participation means.
How can this happen if not by controlled organization and planning of themselves? By organizing such a thing, we would be recreating the very same thing.
