10. It doesn't matter what the mood of the country is
As long as we do not have a free, adversarial press in our country, the opposition to corporatism, no matter how large it may become, will be ignored.

Millions can march in cities all over the country. It will make as much of a difference as the millions who marched against the war did. We will be pooh-poohed on TV and in the print media.

If a miracle happened and we somehow managed to become too effective, and we started to scare the corporatists who now have a firm grasp on the country, they would label us enemy combatants and squash us like bugs.

This isn't the normal swinging of a pendulum -- believing that is like believing in the tooth fairy. We are living in a corporatist state, and it's only going to get worse.
