Grassroots - socialdemocracy that sprung froms scandinavia but has major partial similarities to alot of European countries pre EU when the public sector was larger (around 10%). Through grassroots people achieved greater impact for the state (as represented by the people for the people) through law, regulation and public ownership ("the greater good"). That change was not brought on catastrophically but incrimentally by the poor working class also even partially by what today would be called entrepreneurs (the liberals of those days) that realised that local companies could gain more by increasing the wealth for the local populace who could then produce more efficiently (win/win).

Anyway, when people impact through the national state they have power, when wealth is shifted from nation to private hands is when the public should start to move. I'm still surprised the reality that could be had by the big short (2015) where moody's et al with rubberstamping actively helps in making that shift happen. It seems like hidden plutocrats have greenlit to jump ship more or less...

What people need to do is to organise, activate and put real pressure on those working for as few as possible instead of as many as possible. Once real democratic rule has been established through law and oversight (transparency - means disabling some shadow groups in the gov and right outside it) a more egalitarian and utilitarian (efficient) society will spring forth.
