I don't know what you mean by 'perfectly privatized'. There will likely be some
institutions that remain that provide some sort of services to all at some level
of abstraction, though to a decreasing degree and weight of authority as
individuals become more capable of ensuring their own rights and lives at a
lower more personal level.
Politics as we know them will not exist. Politics as a means of dispute
resolution in a society will likely remain in some form at ever greater levels
of dilution down to more local, individual levels, in one form or another.
