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.
Let me see an example of a society without government surviving the onslaught of a society with government, and then we can talk about how this glorious society without government can actually exist in a world with governments such that it alledged glorious attributes can be worth talking about.
Well, eBay is an example of a society functioning without Government, everything is handled by private entities; eBay and PayPal. Billions upon billions of transactions happen from strangers across the world and the Government does not lay a finger on any of those transactions as disputes are 100% handled by ebay/paypal.
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
