Wolves, prey and the human society

I was watching a beautiful National Geographic documentary about wolves. While watching how the wolves hunt their prey, it passed my mind how similar are we, the human society, to a pack of wolves and also their prey. All through the human history, a small pack of cruel Alpha males in the form of armed groups have done unimaginable cruelties to the huge masses of the people, and yet, like the prey, the masses never react. They just escape, are happy to be let to graze in peace from time to time, and when one of them is hunted down, they just watch from distance, breathing a sigh of relief that it was not them and promise themselves to be more submissive to escape the pack. While when you look at the herd, you see and know that this huge herd can easily get rid of the wolves if they unite and fight back instead of running away each for itself. But the sad fact is, the herd always escape instead of fighting back and getting rid of the wolves. Only in rare moments in history, during revolutions and mass uprisings, do the herd fight back, and each time, when they unite and fight, they win. It is just impossible not to win as long as you are united, as the herd is much larger and more powerful united than a small pack of "wolves".
