I feel this is a libertarian logical fallacy.

Really? Have you seen what happened to the conservatives and how they are presently being treated? Do you see what the democrats in congress are saying? Did you see how social media behaved?

Do you think these democrats in congress would hesitate for a second at cancelling payments to those "right wing terrorists"?

There is little doubt they would do that. Of course, they are the ones in power and the reverse would also happen. History is filled with political retribution.

Therefore I think the point you espouse is a completely illogical fallacy that is not reflective of history. In fact, it is happening before your eyes and you seem to be ignoring it.

The problem I fear with decentralisation of the human race, which is what you are saying, is that the more it decentralises, the more opportunity there is for a rogue actor to attempt to take complete control.

This is illogical.

The idea of decentralization is that the point of vulnerability are spread. For example, food produced all over the world is not as big a threat to it produced in one area.

Decentralized systems are not the ones apt to be taken over but rather, centralized ones. This is true for governments, economies, industries, and corporations.

Interdependency is created for the need by one person for something another person can produce. We cannot be individuals, living within our own tiny island producing everything we personally need.

This is true today. But fast forward a few decades and you will have to have a completely different view. Technological innovations are completely changing how we produce things. We are seeing things becoming regionalized, which will lead to localized before, eventually, ending up personalized.

Thus, when you say that we need others for production, that is true until we do not. Think of the replicator on Star Trek, something that is not total Sci-Fi at this point. In fact, 3D printing allows us to take a digital file created anywhere in the world and print it out locally.

A couple decades of advancement, especially in the material sciences, and we will be at the point of a new world.
