We can sneak the systems in. Let's say I start a blockchain ecosystem aimed at replacing local government services. They wouldn't be able to turn the system off, or know who uses it (depending on how it is set up). So they can't directly attack the blockchain or users.
They could attack and block the services provided depending on the physicality of these services.
If this is based in the UK for example where they are constantly cutting services, increasing deaths, crime, etc. The systems would be designed to replace and moot the local failing government services (this wouldn't be its stated goal though). It would start by picking up the slack in slashed budgets, and run along side, and once it becomes a vital needed part of the local infrastructure, trying to stop it becomes a problem, as you have an area depending on it, and the alternative is the government who will just continuously cut services. No one wants that.
