I believe that libertarians simply must start by actually doing active, daily self-government and educating their own children in spite of and without the permission or tolerance of the statists, up to and including going to jail or whatever. I'm convinced that a lot of the nonsense_ we seem forced to endure stems from a lack of effort on the part of most people to maintain full charge/responsibility for their own lives. For instance, most people tend to cry for government regulation of safety and health issues, rather than to take responsibility to educate themselves as consumers. When enough people take this responsibility first and stop looking to government for solutions, when they begin to resist statists' agendas for their lives and resist giving them their money in any form, then they can begin to hope for freedom. It won't happen magically through "education," but only by the gut effort of everyone who wants to be free.... and when there are enough of us....
