I think I understand your theory, but I think it would be very difficult to implement. Don't forget that we're talking about the masses and the masses have a lot of power. It took us thousands of years to get here, do you think such a system would be feasible in a few decades?
It doesn't have to be implemented. It just emerges.
I think its already becoming more difficult to monopolize violence.
3D printed firearms, Money thats difficult to take by force, robot drones and humanoid bodygaurds, and one day it will be feasible for someone to manufacture a nuke in their garage.
All these factors are signaling a decentralization of access to violence. But also access to protect oneself without need of a state.
States are like the newspapers with their monopoly on information getting disrupted by the internet age.

I really can't see that happening. Governments, and especially the American one, only let it go as far as they think they can control it, when they see that there is a real threat, they act.

I'm sure the newspapers acted real hard to fight the internet too.
