We need to take their power away.

I want to take the power from ONE group and give it to a million....

It’s a good idea, there are people that do there best to support small businesses, ethically sourced products and such. You know what the issue is? They are a tiny minority. The majority will shop at amazon and the like because it’s convenient.
They don’t seem to realise that when the alternatives are gone they won’t be coming back. At least people are becoming more aware about their health which is reflected by the big chains selling more fresh and healthy products.
You really need to change people’s hearts and minds before you can change their behaviour. Take a look around the next time you are in a large store, people are on autopilot, mindlessly buying crap they don’t need that they didn’t even come in for.
That’s exactly how they’ve been programmed, and they have been programmed. It’s called NLP and it’s everywhere.

Who said anything about anarchy? Who said it was about America or America only?
The OP is suggesting boycotting big multinational corporations by not giving them our money/doing business with them.
The big corporations that are traded on the stock market are owned by these two hedge funds and others. But small to medium businesses certainly aren’t. They have to be traded for investors to buy shares, and the vast majority of small/medium businesses aren’t. It’s these businesses which we should support. Not every business is in manufacturing in fact in the West most are in the service sector.
