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...
