Do you live off the grid and grow all of your own food? If not, then the "government" keeps you alive. You don't have to give them a free pass on everything but you can't pretend it serves no purpose but to oppress you.

I'm not pretending that at all, all I'm suggesting is that the government be entrusted with the least amount of authority it requires. I also think that the model for our collective action should be much more consensual, rather than enforced.
