unhinged
'
i
prefer
the
gradual reforms
of
a
functioning
,
liberal
democracy
.
i
fear
the
process
of
massive
social
engineering
.
i
detest
the
poison
of
violence
.
i
would
rather
live
in
a
system
in
which
our
social
institutions
permit
the
citizenry
to
nonviolently
dismiss
those
in
authority
and
promote
the
common
good
,
a
system
in
which
institutions
are
independent
and
not
captive
to
corporate
power
.
but
we
do
not
live
in
such
a
system
.
we
live
in
a
system
that
is
incapable
of
reforming
itself
.
the
first
step
to
dismantling
that
system
is
to
dismantle
the
ideas
that
give
it
legitimacy.
once
that
is
done
,
though
the
system
may
be
able
to
cling
through
coercion
and
fear
for
years
,
it
will
have
been
given
a
mortal
blow
.
'
many
ideas
,
once
held
to
be
true
,
have
come
to
be
regarded
as
wrong
and
evil
