Money doesn't make politicians, people do. Money is just what gives them more power.

Why would Bitcoin be a means to achieve a political end?

Bitcoin, or it's successors, makes paying the State an entirely voluntary affair. They can't even prove how much you've got. When people cannot be forced into paying the State, the State must convince them to pay. That puts them in market competition, if not with each other, then at least with all the myriad other things money can buy.
