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

have power until they disappear as a 'people.

Its whole concern is to bring your seeds to their ultimate flowering.
