No, you are misunderstanding the slogan. The slogan is saying that there is a rich 1% that holds the majority of decision making power in today’s world. It is up to the rest of the 99% to unite and recognize this tyranny, and to then wrestle away that power.
There is no mention of the 99% abusing that power instead, and given that DG was an anarchist, He presumably instead meant that that power should be destroyed.

- Ar-Curunir 6y agoSure, but if everyone has power, then no one has power over anybody else, which is sort of the opposite eof what the OP was implying was the goal behind the Occupy slogan
