Re: memes like this one,
Blockchain technology is just the natural implementation of a few innovations from the 1970s, half a century ago. It isn't based on politics but on new types of trust protocols, specially what Diffie and Hellman announced in the scientific paper I link to here -->
https://ee.stanford.edu/~hellman/publications/24.pdf
Also note that asymmetric cryptography is not intuitive, and people see the world not as it is but as they are, so to a person who does not understand public-private key systems, when they look at blockchain technology, they will see themselves, so they project politics onto it, and imagine, in their head, that it is a political system. It really isn't, they just lack the language to understand it and happen to be used to that the leviathan is based on politics so they go with that, it is convenient and lets them stick to whatever their status quo is (i.e. "status quo bias").
Panarchy and a free market for government
The idea with blockchain technology and similar types of "consensus technology" is to go from representative government to a free market for government, for policies and rules, the separation of state and politics, what Paul Emile de Puydt coined as "panarchy" in 1860. That is made possible since "consensus technology" is unbiased ("permissionless ledgers"), whereas representative government and "human-based states" ("consensus trances") cannot be unbiased, people tend to tribalism and to unite around one vision, left vs right, bipartisan politics, in an ever ongoing struggle because ideology as a medium cannot achieve both.
Mathematical norms as a neutral arbitrator
It is the asymmetric cryptography that is the foundation for what could be the next type of state. If it continues to prove itself secure that a single mathematical formula can be the "middle man" for all transactions, any type of transactions that can be computed using turing complete computation, then that brings out something new and unprecedented, that can be used to build a new type of state, one that cannot lie, cannot be corrupted, and cannot take sides, completely selfless in a way no government, shaman or priest could be, the perfect arbitrator.
