Opposition forces, including the libertarians, are infiltrated, disorganized, and obscured by a media blackout. All political struggle is portrayed as personality conflicts between rulers, thus avoiding examination of principles or trends. Laws soon to be passed will suppress any resistance to unlimited increases in government. People are children. Liberty is doomed when they accept tyranny.
Libertarians are sure to succeed.
Big government can't survive unless the people believe in it. The Soviet people gradually learned their system didn't work. When they realized it couldn't work it collapsed in spite of its overwhelming power. In an information age the principles and trends of government failure will become harder and harder to conceal. People are adults.
