I don't think so, not in the least. Robots will do all the work so government will become just mechanism and personal choice will be the only thing that matters in peoples lives.
That said, these boards are quite political. People obviously have pride in their country, their own interests, the threat from other systems, dislike of the status quo (here in the UK we are subjects of the crown). Perhaps all mitigated by a certain distrust of politicians.
If one way of evaluating systems is to look at the people produced then personally the Chinese people I have met impressed me, ditto for some from the Nordic countries.
So will we like the aliens we eventually meet?
I guess one friction point galactically may be the groups produced by evolutionary paths, mammals, reptiles, avians, parasites.
