Thank you for invoking the newly evolved Godwin's law by suggesting that politicians are a class of people without merit.

It's okay if you disagree and think that you meant to directly invoke images of fascists but it shouldn't be inconceivable why someone would ignore your ill-conceived argument.

They're not without merit but I don't buy into this whole "government is simply the name we give to the things we choose to do together" romanticization. Government is run by politicians and much of the administrative state (in the US at lease) is delegated to unelected officials.
