While few people are devoted enough to drop everything and go
found a new society, we think that everyone is, to some degree, a
revolutionary. After all, who was the last person you met who
was completely happy with everything about their society? While
utopia is not an option, we do believe there are some fundamental
reasons why seastead societies are likely to work better than
terrestrial ones. As experimenting with new social systems
becomes cheaper and easier, it will be a viable alternative for
an increasingly large segment of humanity. Seasteading is a
realistic way to make a significant leap forward.

Some of the most oppressive governments - those that interfere with daily life and restrict freedom the most- are the smallest. I am referring to condominium associations and homeowner associations.
It will be a great challenge to have governments which insure everyone's rights and protect wives, children and other weaker members of the group from abuse.
Things which will make it especially difficult are groups which don't see people as valuable, God's creation, with a purpose and responsibility to fulfill their purpose.
Mind altering drugs which remove inhibitions against destructive behavior can make a people ungovernable.
