(If the majority is always right, and we know that we’re right, we must have a majority behind us, yes? Sadly, no.) Ours is not even a mass movement. A few tens or hundreds of thousands of people in a nation as large as the United States amount to a vanguard, not a mass base." Very interesting observation. I've often pondered myself why paleos are such a rare breed, and one answer that always comes back to me is that most people in this country lack a sufficient knowledge and understanding of history to comprehend why we see things as we do. Ironically, that puts us in a similar situation to how Marxists see themselves - which is why McCarthy's "vanguard" reference jumps out at me. Sent at: 2008 09 07
