Question about ICOs and Securities

[8CommaClub]

Is there a way to avoid getting screwed by governments / three letter organizations when raising capital for an ICO?

Could it be considered a security instead of a token? Or how would one go about to avoid the legal consequences of running a ICO or ITO without facing backlash from governments / three letter organizations?  (Assuming of course that the ICO has a legit purpose and the goal of the ICO was to raise capital for building a project which will be decentralized / trustless and operates as a cryptocurrency?)

Curious as to how Governments would also try to ban ICOs or Cryptocurrencies in general if they are decentralized...
