Do you also tremendously respect people who work for the mafia in order to change it into a charity from the inside? Do you think that is a productive endeavor

Politicians really want people to believe it is. Then they can bring all those people who want change into the gov't and neuter them by convincing them to wield the power they detest, suffocate them in bureaucracy and the inertia of (for example) a $3.5 trillion "large company" (as PG put it), quagmiring them so that the people in gov't can keep their power and violence.
And it's been quite successful at doing that. The light to this is that gov't is stuck with its own inertia, and eventually drains its host society of so many resources that the society cannot sustain the gov't anymore. An informed society could then start operating on a voluntary basis instead of organizing systems of violence.
