“Once the majority of the governed becomes convinced that it is necessary
and possible to change the form of government and to replace the old
regime and the old personnel with a new regime and new personnel, the
days of the former are numbered…The force to which the government
resorts in order to make refractory spirits compliant can be
successfully applied only as long as the majority does not stand solidly
in opposition.”–Ludwig von Mises, Liberalism, 1929.
