It is. Organisation is critical for humanity, and government just means coercive and monopolistic organisation. Everything the government organises top down and coercively can be organised bottom up and voluntary. Don't confuse government with organisation. It's just a very inefficient, immoral and outdated form of organisation.

Small government is a fiction: It will always grow itself, because the 'checks and ballances' are monopolised by the government itself. Whether it's an emergency or some other clever trick, power happy politicians will always break the 'checks and ballances' and grow to an enormous deathly and destructive monster.

A small government is the same as a small tumor or a little heroine: You might be able to handle it today, but it WILL come for you in the future.

This was the practical argument. Now the moral one: Rape is fundamentally bad, so I won't rape everyone everyday, but only the most beautiful woman once a week. 🙃

#Bitcoin is actually a 'checks and ballances' system external to the government, that's why I am so excited about it.

But hey, even if we have a tumor suppressive drug, I still rather get the tumor out

I share this view.

To govern is to rule with authority. Would you say that all rule/authority is bad? Or that civil rule/authority specifically is bad?
