A thought regarding statist regimes (which include in varying degrees socialism, communism, facism).

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
—C. S. Lewis

Sailing is a good antidote for totalitarianism. Take someone sailing for fun instead of just racing and we may begin to grow our sport.
