I think the point is that it’s just a change of venue for making consensus; the roles don’t change. A small number of people with lots of resources choose whether a large number of people with few resources fight each other to the death. GGP implied that war was something a blockchain could “fix”, but GP argues that it, at best, it maintains the status quo. In my opinion, it’s a little worse than the status quo because at least before those with few resources got some small say in the matter via their elected representatives.
