Governments are crucial enablers of the economy and security of citizens.
Without government no strong economy can exist- there are no property rights, security or rule of law.
You are free to go somewhere there is little or no government but you will not because you are not insane or suicidal, are you?
But you are a hypocrit because you cling like a baby to the nation state and the security and economy it enables for you to live under.
Without government no strong economy can exist- there are no property rights, security or rule of law.
Government is the entity that specializes in violation of property rights. But you want to give it credit for protection of property rights. Your brain is a square circle.

Without government how are property rights enforced?
How do I defend my land and assets from those who would seek to take it from me?
Without government it is the law of the jungle- the strongest can seize property from the weakest with impunity.
Government recognises this and puts itself in place as the strongest entity but where it is well operated it can and dose protect property rights in such way that wealth security and prosperity can develop.
Government is a natural role that has evolved from the nature of humans as humans are weak and greedy as individuals but can achieve much greater strength as a group.
Of course there are trade offs with government but overall it has proven an essential part of any human community.
You ascribe only bad attributes to government but in fact it is a human construct and is made up of humans and so is variable in quality just like humans.
Not all government is bad.
There has only ever been sustained wealth and prosperity where there is good government. We need to fight for it and not completely give up on the entire thing because without good government we are more or less fucked.
