Government has always been the principal enabler of every war, genocide, and mass abuse of human rights through history. Divorcing them from control of money is a massive human rights advancement, and most people recognize this.

Disagree. Power was and is the enabler of said things. And currently, democracy with proper separation of powers is the best we have to manage said power.

The government is just another name for whoever has a monopoly of said power (and violence).
