The State will rise again. The people will beg strong men to protect them. You are blind to the cycles of life and necessity.

Evolution has other answers. Like many things, it's about nuance and dependencies ('It depends.').

The State may rise again, but not necessarily, or not necessarily for everyone, everywhere.

Civ may collapse so badly that we may be lucky to end up with villages. Now, we've heard of the city State, but can villages be States too? Or does a State require a certain number above some threshold? I could look it up, but am too tired ATM.
