The many who are being led in ignorance are being led by a relatively few statists and this is what gives statism it's political power -- it's not the number of people who intellectually adhere to statism -- it's the number living under the illusion of freedom yet ignorantly accepting the statist lie, that more intervention is needed to save freedom. Statists are winning the battles, but as I said the other day, this last victory may be a Pyrrhic victory -- one more such victory and they may be ruined.
The reason is that the direction of statism is the way to ruin -- this has been proved so often throughout the history of nation-states, and other such tyrannies before that, it's truly odd that it's not commonly accepted. Only in a free society where spontaneous order provides flexibility will needs and wants be satisfied to the greatest degree...
The power of the internet is that it's a counterforce to this indoctrination, but people have to be prepared to receive the knowledge and sift through it -- to be able to critically think. The powers of indoctrination are way more organized with a message of dependence and submission...
Education first, though -- if there's a loud demand for private education and the end to the Department of Education, the transition from failed statism to limited government will be a lot easier.
