"What 'government' does best" by Larken Rose

[StatismIsACult]

A little while ago, Larken Rose wrote an article titled "What 'government' does best" that starts off in the following manner:

There are two things that “government” does best:

1) Gives malicious psychos a way to drastically increase the amount of harm they can do, and;

2) Transforms regular, decent people into malicious psychos (and then drastically increases the amount of harm they can do).

Here is the full article: https://steemit.com/anarchy/@larkenrose/what-government-does-best

Voluntaryists, like Larken and myself, believe all human interaction should be consensual and voluntary without coercion. As a result, we also believe governments are illegitimate because they inherently use coercion, or force outside of self-defense, which is never justified.

What are your thoughts on this?

Constitutional Strawman

The plutocracy established a government unaffected by the will of the majority, then praises its own private-sector tyranny as an alternative to that oligarchic republic.
