Don’t get carried away. Government has a role in civilization and it is not always negative. When it is in the hands of intelligent patriots it works to everyone’s advantage. When it is in the hands of ideological zealots without a clue it is a disaster.
When government is small and focused as designed by the original patriots agreed however, every government is then slowly taken over by the ideology driven zealots that destroy the government, country and people leaving all of it in the trash bin of history.
