The idea that people seem to struggle with is that this is not a new development - it has always been the case. It puts people through its education, teaches that bad is good, that the state is the best we've got, etc, and kind hearted people believe it! It's not a case of voting a better psychopathic ruler in, to help turn the ship around. It has only ever been/can only ever be a mafia extortion racket.
While the problem is not understood, there is no chance of finding a proper solution.
As Nietzsche said:
A state, is called the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly lieth it also; and this lie creepeth from its mouth: "I, the state, am the people."
It is a lie! Creators were they who created peoples, and hung a faith and a love over them: thus they served life.
Destroyers, are they who lay snares for many, and call it the state: they hang a sword and a hundred cravings over them.
Where there is still a people, there the state is not understood, but hated as the evil eye, and as sin against laws and customs.
