The Progress of Liberty

Many people falsely presume that support of the majority of some given population is always required in order for an idea to take hold and be implemented. In fact, this is seldom, if ever, the case. While many people are not receptive to true ideas or good policies, a large fraction of those people are also insufficiently able or willing to counteract them. What is needed for a good idea to be implemented is an active, vocal minority. As free-market activists, we need to look to persuade exceptionally hard-working and intelligent individuals of the benefits that dramatic reductions in government regulation can bring about. Those people will end up being the primary influences of the political system and cultural atmosphere of the future, and many others – including politicians – will often follow their lead by default. To persuade the most intelligent and industrious people, nothing short of high-minded, civil communication and sophisticated rational arguments – propagated by the maximum amount and quality of technology possible – will do.

Sincerely,
Gennady Stolyarov II
