I think its one possible outcome, and the best outcome for the individual citizen when what I see as an inevitable collapse happens.
I think you need a 'normal' democracy to lead to a libertarian democracy, more as a bad example, but its not a natural evolution.
While real evolution is not directed, human governments are, they are 'intelligently designed' so to speak. The variable though is the individuals involved. A strong leader, or strongman at the right/wrong place and time can make all the difference, much like a mutation.
So the wildcards are out there, and this is one possibility. Lets just say as an old man I'll be cheering for it, over the totalitarianism on the other side.
