More and more I'm coming to the conclusion that to blame "communists", or "socialists", or "cabalists", or "capitalists", or etc. etc. is missing the fundamental point. What's more important is that a huge vocal chunk of the population is going along with this. Tens of millions of people are now willing to actively defend ideas that just a few years ago would have been (correctly) thought authoritarian. College students are protesting in favor of personal restrictions placed upon them. The entire concept of a voluntary cooperation between population and state seems to be going out the window. It's not "communists"; it's your co-worker you see every day. I am hearing this kind of crap from people I know. Unless we convince those around us that none of us (me included) has the "right" answer to impose upon all of us, all these words describing "them" who are doing this to "us" will be useless.
