> We need protection against governments
The government is us, at least in democracies. Voters get what they vote for. Your problems isn't with government, but with your fellow voters: The eternal problem of society.
But I do need to work with my fellow voters on many issues - I don't live in a cave - and I need government to protect me from crime, invasion, poisons in my food, diseases, aircraft that crash, racial discrimination, contractual abuses and violations, and many other things.
- urza 10y agoI dont know in what country you live, but where I am from, government is not "us". Definitely not me. Yes we have democratic elections. The result is that government takes 60% of my income and provides me terrible services that I dont want and often times I morally dont agree with and would never voluntarily support. Whats the difference from mafia? USA is the same, government spies on their own citizens and on rest of the world. That is what we need protection from. They are not really protecting us, they are just playing a theatre pretending they do. you say I need government to protect me from crime, invasion, poisons in my food, diseases, aircraft that crash, racial discrimination, contractual abuses and violations, and many other things. I believe we would do better job at this without government. Or at least without the monopoly government as it exists today.
