I think that we the best we can hope for is that the government is rendered unusable, and that the world is able to proceed into the information age free from the constant malice of the hegemonic state.
Unfortunately large portions of our society rely on having a functioning government. If things fall apart, I doubt the masses rising in revolt will magically end up with a libertarian government. Something authoritarian is much more likely.
