If we had a non-violent revolution where the people woke up, took back control of the government and the corporately owned media (which the plutocrats use to control our thoughts and keep us on their side), I'm all on board with that.
Fortunately, we've (still) got a system that allows for non-violent and legal revolution at the ballot box. This is why their gerrymandering and voter suppression is such a big concern.
Even at the ballot box they have a lot of power. Their control of the media decides who gets the most attention, not to mention politicians buy advertising and pay for campaigns with money donated by the wealthy.
