I agree with that in principle and printing does seem to be getting harder overall but most Western countries are just primed and ready for the type of War Socialism that Mises described and that was the law of the land during and after the world wars.

We've all lived through a brief spell of totalitarianism and it simply needs another crisis, pretend or otherwise, to bring about total domination of all aspects of daily life and you know something? Most of the people we know will bare their fangs at the mere thought of criticizing the regime.

Australia had camps for dissidents five years ago, Germany still has camps left over from the last time tyranny was en vogue, and the US can, allegedly through FEMA, plonk one down wherever people get a little too uppity with their guns and their decentralized money.

I'm not saying all is lost but I'm rapidly losing faith in that meaningful change can be brought about peacefully.
