"'We The People' become infantilised and impotent" - ie. we surrendered our power. What stops us retaining it, instead? Each day, a new day, a new way.

What stops anyone from giving up a drug? Addiction. ‘We The People’ are addicted to the Welfare State… we’ll give up cigarettes, booze, drugs - tomorrow - after just one more smoke, Scotch, fix.
Amazingly, many, many people have kicked addictions. What stops a person needing a drug is the power to achieve satisfactions that are real. Satisfyingly real relationships with real people who have real faces. Satisfyingly real opportunities to be skillfully useful to others and be respected for it. Real satisfactions of the human kind, of which drugs can only ever provide a pale imitation.
