the government is not here to be your friend. the government is not here to be your enemy. the government is here to ensure there is a tomorrow.
We had millions of tomorrows before governments even existed.
Governments are here to more strictly enforce social contracts. They do this with varying levels of consent, but that is nevertheless what they do.
Hardly. They're there to enforce the will of politicians, who are funded and influenced by the owning class (regardless of who voted for them once every four years).
If you only vote every four years then you're part of the problem.
I wasn't being literal, in fact I vote every year (not US), along with participating in political parties and union organizing.
Neither was I. Just pointing out that "government" is far far more than the presidency. Random town councilmen and education board members aren't funded by the owning class.
