RE: Knowledge of History + Economics = Disbelief in Government
It depends on the exact definition of "government" you're using. The case is that, government is a system based on violence and the threat of violence - not for self-defence, but for attempting to solve problems for which people could find peaceful solutions. Perhaps you have a different idea of government. Consider this, is it preferable to have a government which doesn't threaten people to fund itself?
"Attempting to solve problems for which people could find peaceful solutions."
That's not true in reality. In reality, government is just a mafia of an elite few who thieve and murder under the guise of "authority."
They don't find peaceful solutions. Government creates the violence where there was peace.
I agree, and that was my point. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. If you look at my comment in the context of the comment I was replying to, I think what I was saying will be clearer. Hope you're well @thepholosopher
