I was just reading one of JRR Tolkien’s letters in which he expressed the idea that “government” as a concept or a process seems necessary, at least to some degree. But “Government” as a “thing”, as a faceless bureaucracy ruling over other people, is simply a great evil.
The Founding Fathers tried to give us a very weak and limited Government. But over the centuries we have not held to that vision and we now have a fascist state, $30T in debt, and a mass of people hypnotized by propaganda.
