The very concept of state comes IMHO from the necessity to cope with
scarcity of resources. To get rid of democracy, and every other form of
government, it's necessary first to reach a post-scarcity society type. This
all in theory, because I really don't know if us apes can exist without some
kind of politics. And there's also the possibility that once we attain this
post-scarcity society (if...) we won't have anything to do other than
politics...
