Personal opinion: The idea of a government or at least a democratic consensus and few people spearheading certain efforts does make sense in my mind. The issue is manifold. People with power/money are actively coopting every entity that can limit their power. You cant change that. if the government goes, another form of government comes and it will not be great because people arent educated and self thinking enough for that. What we need is push, not destroy. The rich push back so they need to go but besides that I say reform, not take out “the government” whatever that means.

Most people cannot imagine a world without a state. It’s absolutely ingrained from an early age that we cannot survive without one so people do not even consider alternatives.

Because those with power will always try to assert it over those with none. There is an inane belief that being endowed with wealth and/or power somehow makes them morally superior.
Guillotines quickly dispel that myth! ;)

As soon as people invest in their community and begin putting into place structures of support, the time will come when the state is removed, becomes impossible to reinstate unless those community structures are destroyed, because why would you need the state if people are doing things for themselves better, more efficiently and with less corruption?
Our dependency on the state is nurtured because it exists only to maintain the status quo of the wealth & power of the elite class.
It is impossible to reform such a corrupt institution.
Exactly. The government cracks the whip but the rich own it.
Get rid of the rich & the govt will just transfer ownership of the whip to another entity.
