I do believe that individuals can achieve their potential, in spite of government.

I agree with you but many believe that they only way for a society to achieve their shared goals is through government. I'm curious to hear from them as to why they hold such a belief.
...realize their true potential and achieve their shared destiny?
If so, why do you believe such?
I though government is suppose to stay out of a citizen's way to allow a person to reach his potential....realize their true potential and achieve their shared destiny?

I'm certain many of our career "Public Servants" have served themselves very well with millions in payoffs.Well, the Clintons have netted 240 million through governmant.
That is certainly realiing the true potental of governance.
The State does not like financially independent citizens. They have no leverage. But if you take away the ability for businesses to operate, create massive "relief bills" and tax the shit out of the independent, The State gains power over the people. That's the way America is going and it is profoundly sad to see.I though government is suppose to stay out of a citizen's way to allow a person to reach his potential.
Citizens are now responsible to fund a fellow citizen's home mortgage, college education, healthcare, legal defense, diet, transgender studies in Pakistan, aid to foreign countries as well as fund the existence of refugees who find their way here. None of that was in existence until FDR or possibly after FDR.
I believe that the left's philosophy is that all citizens are obligated to work for the betterment of fellow citizens and even non-citizens in order to make our nation, as well as the world, a "better" place and that the best way or "only" way to achieve that is through government.

The cure for chronic bad government has always been to smash the aristocracy. For some reason Americans have forgotten this. We've become a nation of total kiss-asses to whoever is cutting the checks.

farming required planning and efficiency in epic levels, which was only possible through a central system

In truth, without the mindless followers of government, the government has no power. Harshly deal with the jackboots and other brownshirts that do the bidding of government and the government itself falls into line.

No. That being said history has proven again and again people cannot survive consistently without the protection of a government hired and managed military/police force. I'll provide an example.
Let's say there's a group twenty families who decide to leave society and vanish into oh, I don't know, the trackless Northwest Territories. Their plan: form their own sovereign nation, but a nation free from all government authority. Now let's say four or five more groups of twenty families get the same idea and head north into the same area, relatively. History has shown that eventually those groups of families will seek out other (tribes) families to trade with and possibly breed with. History has also shown that some groups of families will ally with others, form a larger tribe, and then raid all the smaller ones in the region. Right, so without a unified government and its military/police force independent or small groups of people really stand no chance against larger, similar groups.
But let's take it even a step further. What if a single family left society and settled in a place where there is no government protection. Well, in the long term, they might be fine if no one else ever finds them or happens upon them. The chances of that, however, are very low—even in a remote wilderness. So what will inevitably happen when parts, even the smallest ones, of society catch up to our wilderness family? Violence. Someone, at some time will find the independent wilderness family and either covet what they have or just attack them for the hell of it. Without the protection of government hired mercenaries that family is dead meat.
My two cents . . .
one first has to believe in destiny....realize their true potential and achieve their shared destiny?
If so, why do you believe such?
