The challenge is the State doesn’t want to go away. As historian Dr. Carroll Quigley
pointed out in his writings on instrumentality and
institutionalization, the State begins as an instrument to serve society
but ends up as an institution serving its own needs. These needs center
around self-preservation and expansion of State authority and power.
All governments exist by the consent of the governed, but by and large
the governed do not push back. They’re busy working jobs, raising
families, and going about their business. The masses need considerable
prodding before they rebel against abuses performed by the State. But
when the abuse of power, or at least the perception of abuse, reaches a
tipping point, it is difficult for the State to maintain power.

Just as corporate behemoths like Blockbuster can bring
great resources to bear on threats to its existence, so can the State.
Even so, corrupted states fail for many of the same reasons as
Blockbuster. The primary reason corporations as well as governments fail
is they do not produce what consumers want, or they produce what
consumers want but not at price points consumers appreciate. This makes
them vulnerable to competitors.

US government makes it difficult if not impossible, even with its
enormous resources, to respond quickly enough and change its tactics.
They may be able to get Snowden, but he’s one of many. Just as Snowden
followed in the wake of Bradley Manning and Julian Assange, there will
be more whistleblowers. There will be more rejection of government products and services.
Whether we will see the day when the people of any major country reject
the State in its entirety and rely upon true self-government remains to
be seen, but we appear to be moving in that direction.....
.....Sometimes these upheavals will lead to something better, sometimes it
will be more of 2-steps-forward-1-step-back. But just as innovative
disruption in the corporate world leads over time to a higher standard
of living for all, I also expect that, with time, disruption of the
State will lead us to a brighter future. If Snowden’s actions hasten
that disruption, I say more power to him.
