Free societies don’t disappear all at once.

They don’t usually fall to invading armies or dramatic revolutions. Instead, they decay quietly — through rules, permissions, and institutions that claim to protect us while steadily taking control.

Most people don’t notice it while it’s happening.

• – They’re told it’s for safety.
• – They’re told it’s for fairness.
• – They’re told it’s necessary.

And slowly, freedom is replaced with permission.

In this video, Clifford Ribner explains how free societies actually die — not in theory, but in practice. He breaks down the difference between real power that creates value and power that relies only on force, and why governments that expand beyond enforcing the law inevitably move toward coercion.

This isn’t about politics as usual.

It’s about something more fundamental: whether individuals are free to act first and be judged later — or must ask the government for permission before they live their lives.

Once that line is crossed, history shows what comes next.

If you’ve ever wondered why government keeps growing, why bureaucrats seem to have more power than elected officials, or why the rule of law feels weaker than it used to, this video is essential.
