Whether they want to seize power that way or not, the fundamental economic breakdown it would cause would immediately break off the loyalty of the people they’d need to enforce it. Most troops and cops aren’t doing it out of loyalty, they’re doing it to get paid. Moreover, their most ardent supporters would turn on them the second they stop being able to buy food.
The economic breakdown is the desired outcome. Destabilizing the global economy is an expressly stated goal of the technofeudalists. They intend to crash the dollar so they can balkanize the US into corporate owned states.
I dunno how they feel about it… It could be a chance to establish “temporary” emergency powers.

One way or another, it’s simply not gonna happen.
