Wow!

The State is seriously threatening to absorb civil society.

Too late, it's already happened. The lack of civility in media, schools, business are all proof of society run by bureaucrats and corrupt officials. Citizens have no representation.

the State is the sphere where domination is achieved legally by force and destruction. Of late, the State has been encroaching on ever-larger portions of civil society. Under Bush, the shift of resources from the productive, private sector to the unproductive bureaucracy and military-industrial complex hasn't been equaled in decades.

True. But don't forget these trends only accelerated in the past 40 years but have been around since the Founding.
