I sympathize with your perspective, and I don't entirely disagree. However, we have many intertwined systems under the umbrella of what people think of as "society."

Government is not proactive, constructive, or resilient. It is reactive, destructive, and surprisingly fragile despite the facade of permanence. It has its adherents among its enforcers and dependents, though, and people tend to believe it is all legitimate no matter what, so there is a real danger.

On the other hand, the economy is surprisingly resilient. Despite a constant barrage of intervention and expropriation from the political class, the productive class powers through. Goods and services have been disrupted, but not demolished. If there is a way through the obstacles erected by politicians, entrepreneurs will find a way.

I advise building a library of ideas. If you don't plan to bug out, buy some books. You need everything from Carla Emery's Encyclopedia of Country Living to Ludwig von Mises' Human Action. curate your personal reference collection, read ideas you oppose, and understand human psychology as best you can. We need people willing and able to lead, while understanding that those who follow must not be coerced.

A real reset needs to redefine how we view community. Old political boundaries need to be discarded. We can have overlapping communities and forms of governance as diverse as our overlapping religious cultures. We never needed a national church, and we never needed a national legislature either.
