People getting angry on the intertubes just shut down some of the biggest companies in the world for a few days. I think that's what we need to be considering here. If you've read your Marx, you'll get the idea that out of the synthesis of socialism and liberalism we ended up with modern welfare state and it's antithesis, the corporatocracy. The fight isn't between citizens and the state, it's between people and corporations; this is the new world order.
