This was great, thank you. The best argument against government that I've related to is the idea that if we need government to protect us against bad actors, then we absolutely cannot have a government and need to find a better solution, because with a monopoly on the initiation and use of violence, government by its very existence will draw these bad actors like moths to a flame. The continued benefits of immunity they gain from this, over time, only ensures that we end up in tyranny.

Conversely, if we are inherently drawn to community and cooperation, as evidenced by history, then we do not need an institution that relies on coercion and a monopoly on violence, which itself generates continued aggression either domestically or abroad.

We can come to the table and make agreements, but not when only one party can bring a gun.
