Why socialism is going to defeat freedom

We are probably going to lose this battle.  We are unlikely to turn back the tide of the state.  The reason is really simple: those who desire socialism are far more politically active.  They're more active in convincing others that the government should be more powerful, and they're more active in recruiting votes.

A wise man once said, “People who are good at math and analytics understand reality. People who aren’t just wish for things to be nice.”

This is what we are up against.  Millions who are apathetic and just want things to be nice, versus the rest of us who believe in rights.  How can we beat these guys?  Well, we have to either play their game, for follow Ian's lead (of Free Talk Live fame), and engage in civil disobedience.  Everything else, while valuable, is just going to delay socialist control.
