This is clear thinking. If we are in fact moving toward a panopticon society of oligopolistic control, then a system of laws is largely irrelevant. Non-participation becomes extremely important as does, as Chris states, storing valuables out of reach of the corrupt state. BTC serves this function well. Gold/silver also serve this function well, though not as perfect as btc. Unregistered private property in inaccessible locations is also good. Base layer skills (mechanic, gardening, building, etc skills ) are also unconfiscatable and make you more resilient/increase your community value.  Essentially sovereign human type stuff. I'd be curious to hear other peoples' ideas on decentralizing ownership amid increasing corruption.
