What makes you think the current globalist scumbags will be able to stop it? Even the most pure expression of such dedicated effort (North Korea) still has defectors every now and then. The moment privatised space travel takes off is the moment authoritarian freaks will always have to spend extra effort to ignore the fact that they are locked in permament failed/lose status. It will only take one bored billionaire or gorbachev-like figure to become a tiny runaway spark of freedom that will remain forever beyond their grasp much like both Voyagers probes are right now.
It makes me wonder if a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away something like that already happened and the authoritarians left behind got so spiteful that they keep expanding the Bootes Void just to catch up to one such runaway spark of freedom.

Or maybe I'm just waxing lyrical...
