Do We NEED Government? YOU Tell ME!

in #government7 years ago

I want to collect a series of short answers from everyone saying why we need or don't need government. So...

  • In 100 words or less, tell us why government is NECESSARY.
  • In 100 words or less, tell us why government is NOT NECESSARY.

Comment down below. Ready? GO!

There is no We.

Excused on a technicality! Hahaha

The question being one of necessity, we must answer the question, "necessary for what?" The most common use of this word refers to survival and/or success, so from this perspective, I see two relevant points:

  • Government did not exist during most of man's evolution, so it cannot be necessary, since we survived (succeeded in continuing to exist).

  • Government represents external authority upheld by violent coercion, and is therefore immoral (i.e. evil); thus, if necessary, it would mean evil is necessary for humanity to survive and thrive. This cannot be, since morality is the cause-and-effect of human behavior, whereby immorality is a cause that necessarily yields entropic, degenerative effects.

So, no, government cannot be necessary.

Exceeded the 100 limit by 15 (I actually counted, lol), but it's all good. ;)

Hahahahahah! I was worried about that, but c'mon - that's pretty short coming from me! Cut out the first paragraph - that'll do it.

Government is a businesses who gets what it wants by force. That should never never exist, because when it becomes corrupt, it still will archive what it wants by force. There isn't one government who has been real successful.

Those who rule themselves need no external rulers!
