Power, if it has any meaning at all, must refer to control by one
human being over another. It makes no sense at all to talk about
"power" held by a class as a whole.

"Power to the masses" is as oxymoronic as "wealth to the indigent".

A working man who develops an intense appetite for power - and
succeeds in acquiring such power, would cease to be a working man.
