I think the Path to Freedom is through spreading the basic ideas of philosophy and individual rights and the truth of the world we live in. As Stef says the internet is the Guntenburg Press of our times. The more people helping to spread the ideas the better. Blogging, commenting, discussing while being rational all helps. Creating your own videos and books for those with the desire and talent to do so. The focus should be on the young. The next generations who have not been beaten down by life yet. Who are disillusioned and angry but don't know why. Who can still be woken up from their Matrix before they become entrenched in maintaining the status quo. Ideas are like viruses. If they spread far enough and wide enough they will gain a life of their own. Then in the future there will arise great writers or thinkers or artists or activists (dare I say even politicians?) who will believe in the concepts of freedom, individual rights and the free market. It could only take one or two or a few of these future RED PILLED people to bring about major changes in society. Our job is to start spreading the virus.

Does anyone know if Stef has ever mentioned or talked about Noam Chomsky and his views? I find him confusing. If so can you point me to the podcast/video. Thankyou.

Sorry if this idea has already been discussed but it's been on my mind since I first started listening to Stef. I was just reminded of it after reading "The End of America" by Naomi Wolf. Stef talks about freedom coming. But I imagine before real freedom is experienced the US has a much higher chance of moving into some form of dictatorship (or practical dicatorship), especially relgiously fundamentally based . When things get bad economically then a strong leader (brute) shows up and promises solutions and blames the problems on scapegoats. Anyway, my point is, wouldn't it be the easiest thing in the world for government or a leader to label Anarchists as domestic terrorists? All that would have to happen is an individual or group that labels themselves as anarchists, or who studied and liked the teachings of people like stef, commit some crazy act of violence agaisnt the state. Imagine the way it would be spun in the media and through state soundbites. The term already has only a negative image in the publics mind. I don't thnk it would matter much that stef has only ever talked peaceful solutions. I have so much respect and admiration for Stefs courage and commitment, but isn't there a real danger of him, his family (gods forbid) and his students being put on a LIST or even detained in the future? Or am I being paranoid? Naomi said in a video she would stop speaking out when the first reporter is labelled an enemy and detained. Will there be a time anarco-capitalists would also have to do the same?
