Minorities Drive History!

The American tendency to embrace the concept of political democracy often blinds us to the fact that political minorities, not always majorities, often drive history. The American Patriots of our own Revolution were a distinct minority, but one committed, determined, and organized. The same could be said for the Jacobins, the Bolsheviks, the Nazis, and today's Jihadists. 
If our current political system continues to collapse, there is no reason to believe that a committed, determined, and organized minority will not seize control of events. Such an understanding of historical reality is central to the comprehension of why such groups as Qaeda al-Jihad and Antifa commit themselves to what might well seem to most people as impossible efforts to gain political control.
But History teaches that a clear minority of Americans, the Patriots, defeated the British Empire, a determined handful of Bolsheviks toppled the Tsar's Empire of 170 million Souls, and the Jihadist defeat of Soviet forces in Afghanistan helped topple the Soviet Union.
