They have the right idea, which is very well stated in the first sentence of our own Declaration of Independence. However, those "in power" don't like, and will not, surrender that power very easily. They usually just laugh at this "chanting" and "marching". Remember, those "in power" have an entire ARMY (police, at every level, everywhere) who, without a second thought, will beat and kill every citizen (read that again, citizens...) in front of them. They forget who their REAL bosses are, and they have no sense or appreciation of history. I get the feeling they soon will....it is INEVITABLE.
