"Eniki, Thank you for the comment. I don't think anyone (self-included) is trying to compare the state to the printing press, rather I'm trying to talk about the longer term impact technologies that allow people to share information on the nature of the state. I also agree that the state will likely not disappear quietly, indeed one of my points in the conclusion is that this process (if that is the trend) could be exceptionally violent." - David Eaves
