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

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 stood up and took 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.
