Now there is an argument that network systems are breaking the shackles of hierarchy systems, but lets be very honest with this argument in that the best example we have of a network system, the internet, is a hodgepodge of actual freedom, freedom for appearance sake, sneaky-westernized totalitarianism, and in-your-face-what-are-gonna-do-about-it totalitarianism.
We must fix the internet so as to maintain the fundamental End-to-end principle. The designers forgot to build Tor into it when they designed it. And Tor has serious flaws; most importantly it can be Sybil attacked.
Now replace internet with decentralized currency, and TOR with Monero and you have the current state of affairs in cryptocurrency land--you could exchange p2p for zerocash and you'd have the future option in there as well. As Twain said, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme."
You've got the general theme correct, but you apparently may not be aware of the technical limitations of Monero, Tor, and Zerocash that make them unsuitable. For one, none of them scale.
