Seems like a general concept. The concept of government is actually a forceful limitation on the powers that would be exercised in a state of anarchy. Otherwise theres no distinction between ‘government’ run by a dictator, and anarchy with a singularly powerful individual. Of course the distinction can be rationalized away further in terms of collective power until the only thing left is a theocracy. But practically, .... actually I don’t know anymore.
