Yep, the state fights to preserve its "life" while the people suffer their own. The mistake of top down thinking lies in the inability to really model large populations with rules, too much of the action happens at the fine grained level of every day staying alive.
Actually, there's a false dichotomy there, but the misconception is so common that nobody notices it.
When change comes, it will happen as the cummulative effects of millions of stuborn folk who subvert excessive authourity, 'cause they need to.
Perhaps not. It may be that enough people are not too inconvenienced by the way things are today (and tomorrow). Only people on the margins will be affected in that scenario, which is largely insignificant to the perpetuation of the corrupt state. Right?
As the state tries to squeeze more gold out of the untaxed ecconomy ordinary people will swarm to new work-arounds
And so it goes.
