No no no. Punch trees, craft wooden tools, kill skellitons. Touch bonemeal to grass. Punch grass, get seeds. Then graft a hoe, till the land next to water, use the seeds to grow wheat.
The masses don't spontaneously self-organize for the purpose of giving one person all their power. That requires external coordination by the entity receiving that power.
Without that entity driving them, the masses don't yield their power. That entity is ultimately responsible for what it has convinced the masses to do.
The powerful people didn't stand up and take the power. It was a gradual process that the masses could have stopped. They still can, they just need to know that they have that power.
Retribution and vengeance feels good but in the end I think we should thrive for a system that works for the powerless and the powerful on an even footing.

Have you tried touching grass? The problem is not powerful people but the apathy of the masses.
The powerful people support that apathy but the masses could change everything at any moment.

Without the powerful people in question, the apathy of the masses wouldn't be a problem.

Without masses there would be no power.
The masses give the power, they are ultimately responsible. It's the same as with traffic.

Who do you think is working tirelessly everyday to make them feel apathetic? To make them feel as though nothing they do can change anything.?

Of course, that's why it is important to remember that the people have the power.

Gotta say, if this is what you need to be happy, you should probably get used to being unhappy.
