Ever more, society has been developing ways to do things that formerly were thought to be the sole province of government. And the ways that are being developed are almost universally better than the traditional, government backed methods. Things like Uber, Bitcoin, the agorism movement, these things show, over and over again, that the idea of government is on the precipice of going the way of the various other outdated religious beliefs.
Ways that the government is being/has been/was always obviated:
No longer needed(if it ever was) to create and support currencies
Becoming unnecessary for the arbitration of conflicts between individuals and/or organizations
