So governments are dangerous and not to be blindly trusted. Agreed. That does not mean that we'll be better off with zero government. Human organizations do not scale beyond tens or hundreds without government. The root problem is the flawed nature of people, their "short-sightedness and moral blindness" as the author correctly points out.
Anyway, the author needs a lesson in logic and logical fallacy.
I myself am an anarchist at heart (in the vain of Tolstoy), but a realist in my brain.
