Ask Martin Luther King. Ask Mahatma Gandhi. They seemed to do all right.
Yes, they used the might of the people to get the concessions they wanted.
They used the powerless (or at least less powerful) to provoke the conscience of the more powerful to get what they wanted.
The masses always have the power, it just doesn't seem like it because they rarely agree on anything. They are essentially unstoppable if they really want something.
