I, by myself, cannot defeat oligarchy.

You, by yourself, cannot defeat oligarchy.

The two of us together probably cannot defeat oligarchy..

But all of us ... the oligarchs cannot survive without us. They cannot plow fields, harvest the grain, lay bricks, maintain the systems that provide clean water and take away sewage, extract fuels that give them electricity, or power their car or airplane - let alone sustain the humans that do all those things, that cook their meals, that fly their planes, that stop the leaks in the roofs of their mansions, that unclog their toilets, that wash their dishes...

I can keep going. I can keep going for hours.

They, quite simply, cannot exist without us.

Because WE, ORDINARY HUMANS, CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT US.

We need to remind them of that.
