I dont think this is what I was implying. Yes, it is not historically proven. But the majority of common sense people can defend against centralised attack. There are many examples of that. The historical problem always has been that via corruption new power structures did emerge and the peoples revolt against suppression turned into the next type of dictatorship.
This is why blockchain can add an important new part to the puzzle in organising completely without hierarchies and fully decentralised. These systems are much harder to compromise and may enable the common sense people to protect their liberties without the need to have any rulers guaranteeing them. Its rules without rulers and order without authority.
Hope one day we can attain this "Rules without rulers and order without authority". :)
