Unfortunately, if perhaps realistically, this assumes/presumes that "the system" -- and public authorities -- are your enemy. Instead of seeking and implementing real, effective, restricted, audited governance, we end up promoting the opposite. Mind you. I've no love for current fascist or neo-fascist tendencies. OTOH, I don't hold much hope for the typical (or, least common denominator) libertarian agenda, either. I try to avoid politics on HN -- and more and more, in general. OTOH, from a societal perspective, one can fairly neutrally ask whether a society can govern itself, or not. The U.S. seems to be increasingly veering towards "not".
