- bnlxbnlx 10mo agoI don't think they were thinking of "no government", rather something like "government working in support of capital" (see 2008 financial crisis bank bail-outs; enforcing private ownership and protecting accumulated wealth).
- TheOtherHobbes 10mo agoThere's always a government. There isn't always an electable, accountable, removable government. Run - no matter how partially - for the common good.

- beepbooptheory 10mo agoHow little imagination we have anymore! Its like you discover ice cream but for some reason only chocolate ice cream. Someone is like "chocolate is no good" and all you know to think is: "Oh so you guys just dont want ice cream at all?!"
- int_19h 10mo agoGovernments are fine. Any group of people large enough to not be a hivemind on everything has a government. Even if they don't formalize it, it will still emerge organically as they run into issues that require consensus on actions. The crucial difference is between the governments actually run by the people, and the governments that claim to "represent" them.
