I've sketched one suggestion at www.etaoin.com/A/anaprax1.htm
which I believe is "objectively" possible. It's based on
the idea that the working and middle classes (in the West,
anyway) dispose of enough resources to begin building
anarchic communities within the existing liberal regime.
It would, however, take some interest and imagination, and
those mystical substances seem to be lacking at this time.
