• Power to the people' can only
  be put into practice when the power exercised by social elites is
  dissolved into the people. Each individual can then take control of
  his daily life. If 'Power to the people' means nothing more than
  power to the 'leaders' of the people, then the people remain an
  undifferentiated, manipulatable mass, as powerless after the revolution as they were before. In the last analysis, the people can never
  have power until they disappear as a 'people.
