Ultimately I can memorise 12 words representing my private key. And when the dictatorship finally ends, or I manage to flee, no government can ever freeze my money.

No tax man, no dictator, and no other thief can distinguish someone who memorised 12 words from someone who didn't.

Erm, no.

No government can freeze your bitcoins.

It's not money.

You might find it ever increasingly difficult to change bitcoins to real money if a country -- or multiple -- is against it. No such thing happens currently but there are constant efforts to bring KYC and so forth to exchanges.
