Tinfoil hat time:
1) Establish government authority as physical. ie, arm the police, the military, etc, then de-arm the populace.
2) Get populace to buy in to non-physical power base. ie, economic, intellectual, networking, etc
3) Dismantle each systematically: Intellectual: devalue education as 'elitist', strip funding from educational system. Networking: instill distrust of neighbors and contacts through 'guilt by association', ala social networking trawling, 'terror networks', bogus 'materially aiding' charges, etc. Economic: devalue currencies globally, such that no one has purchasing power, anywhere...
4) New World Order.
That's the theory at least. Thank god none of it is even remotely real or possible, eh?
