If you put the Government through any level of logic or Aristotelian principles it becomes illogical immediately.
Government, similiar to God, kills and inflicts harm on people in mass numbers, breaking and going above and beyond all of the proposed 'rules'.
For example, the government can put people in a cage and call it 'citizen rehabilitation', but if you do it, it is called kidnapping.
The government can kill people and it is called 'freedom fighting' or 'justice' or 'foreign policy', but if you kill people, you are simply called a murderer.
The government can steal and extort money from people and it is called 'taxation', if you do it, you are called a thief.
Not only is government irrational, but it is simply evil if you apply rational thought to it.
I like the points you made but to my knowledge having a government is the best form of organization we have, with human nature there is going to be some form of tyrannical abuses of power whatever happens, whether that's in some form of anarchy or within a government.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
