Not until people get off their asses and show the 1% they have no real power. In order to make an omelet, you need to break some eggs. It is long past time to crack some shells.
The only way that the 1% lose their power is if the rest of us unanimously decide they no longer have power. Which is why there is so much effort put into preventing any kind of agreement.
It's obvious that rich billionaires sometimes make poor decisions. There has to be a way to exploit that.
There is, but you practically have to be in their inner circle to do that.
Problem is, the 1% have so much wealth that they do indeed have the power.
Wuahaha. They’ll crush that tiny rebellion of yours with hired forces aka police, who’s prime purpose is to protect property, not people.
