 Crypto is a tool but it can never be a goal. It's how we buy back our stuff but then we'll have to decide if such a thing as property even makes sense, theres indication that it may not. 

Besides even for privacy coins, ¿how do we know ISP's are not going to be collecting data on us?. Maybe they won't be able to see everything but they may be able to get plenty of info even if the blockchain is obfuscated.

I hope they can actually help and let us buy back our stuff and we can end slavery without much violence but i doubt crypto alone will achieve this, even privacy coins. I wish it could and if it turns out to work i'll be as glad as any of you, but i wouldn't put all my eggs in that basket. It makes little difference to use crypto but to keep buying the same crap we don't need nor genuinely want from the same corrupt manufacturers and retailers.
