I argued the state, not the government.
There needs to be laws and enforcement with a form of punishment.
However, this question about memetic transmission has some problems with it.
I do not believe in memetics therefore I would consider myself to be immune to memes.
If doing research on memes how could you protect yourself from their influence. That is a form of observer affect but this case the observer is affected by the study.
