If a gang like that ever gains the power to do what you are suggesting, then users will abandon the currency and set up another one that isnt controlled by a gang of authoritarians.
Hence Bitcoin.
Sorry cunicula, but your seem to have turned up to a free-money-movement talking shop trying to talk about how effective it would be to try and turn it into a system that's just like the one the one we want rid of. People will vote with their feet if that came to pass, just like they are now with turning to Bitcoin.
My point: Bitcoin cannot succeed as a free-money movement. Full stop. If you think otherwise, you are deluding yourself.
If they haven't crushed you yet, it is because you are too insignificant to merit their attention.
If you don't believe it will work, then why are you here? If it's to provide us all with the motivation to help the success along, then you're doing a fine job. It can't be much fun seeking out forums whose fundamental tenets you disagree with, disapprove of, or think to be invalid, and then proceeding to try and undermine it? Are you a sadist? Is someone paying you to do this? If the answer to both questions is no, then I'd recommend taking a big step back to take a look at what is motivating you. Because you're definitely rather unbalanced, to say the least.
