Mine was just a flippant remark related to the current political situation in both Spain and Italy where we have elected politicians at each end of the spectrum that hate the population, ruling against their interests.

But you make a similar point I make to die hard libertarians... there's nothing inherently wrong with government if the government is yours. I.e. its small, local, for a homogeneous group, has the group interests at heart, does only what you approve of and where you can outsource decisions to just as you might a close relative. This was literally the form of government that humans lived with for tens of thousands of years and that we evolved with.
