Great idea but exploited by every side since it was coined.
“Margaret Thatcher criticised the use of the slogan by the left in a 1986 speech: “Socialists cry ‘Power to the people’, and raise the clenched fist as they say it. We all know what they really mean – power over people, power to the State.”
“You can do anything.”
“When you’re a star, they let you do it,” Donald Trump boasts of sexually assaulting women in the recently leaked Access Hollywood tape. “You can do anything.”
Kinda depends on WHICH people you give power to – and how they got it from you.
