The only thing that really distinguishes govt from any other business or charity is forced funding. If they don't force you to pay then it's just a voluntarily funded service provider competing for customers in an open market like any other. If you don't believe in forced funding, then congratulations, you have graduated to anarcho-capitalism.
All forms of lowest common denominator (popular vote) choice making need to die. And we don't need "representatives" to make descisions for us. We don't need a special organization offering anything that can't be offered by anyone else. We need crowd funding & other creative voluntary ways of funding necessary organizations & services, a decent private dispute resolution infrastructure, mutual aid societies & insurance cooperatives with incentives balanced using bitcoin collateral & multisig contracts.
