The basic assumption that jjawssd is making is that government is never benevolent and always puts its own interest before that of citizens, regardless of the fact that government usually is made up of said citizens.

It's really scary how much distrust some people have towards representative democracies/republics and instead think going back to some kind of de-facto anarchy where the strong rule over the weak, is somehow the "better" solution that we've never even tried before.

We have plenty of human history not involving "government", guess what it did look like? Much worse.
