 I agree. I've thought so for two decades now.  At first I thought it would be revolution, a civil war.  Now I think it will probably be rebuilt after WW3, but it remains to be seen by who and how corrupt they will be.  Probably every country was always corrupt, and my younger self was only naive.

I also have hope for a distributed and voluntary form of partial government, starting as a society (maybe a secret society) that evolves over time. But that seems so far off and intractable that the hope isn't very great.
