Permanent reform, in person or from millions of participants, must remain a personal commitment. Indeed, that is the only effective route to improvement--that is, improvement as self-improvement. Self-improvement is most efficacious when every individual involved commits his life to God and to living a life of self-realization.
There are evil individuals, but, by and large, most evil is perpetrated by people in their collective capacity, their collective mindset. Since evil is most potent, and most resistant to improvement in the group arena, it makes sense that reform en masse is a futile endeavor.
