Without government, marauding invaders come to your village, rape and pillage, and there's no army to fight back. Your bigger neighbor comes to your house and steals your property and beats you up when you object, and there are no police to call or courts to take him to. There is no perfect government, but man has decided all over the world that some form of government is better than no government. There is no complete freedom from oppression for mankind, as there will always be those who want to oppress others and those not strong, informed, rich, or organized enough to resist this oppression.

The US government was designed to have checks and balances so all the power wouldn't end up in the hands of a small elite. We haven't been vigilant in protecting these checks and balances and let the federal government gain too much power. We need to return power to the states and the individuals so it's harder for a corrupt group of psychopaths to do so much damage when they gain power. However, eliminating all government wouldn't result in freedom because there would be no entity to protect that freedom. So we'd soon realize we need to form an entity to protect our freedom, creating a new government.

So you hire a government to act as 'marauding invaders go to other villages, rape and pillage?" Don't be so naive. The whole of nature lives in anarchy every day, save for human beings. We are conditioned to fear each other, to be afraid of murder, theft, and violence from one another, so we submit to an authority who uses murder theft and violence. You cannot see it yet, but you will.

Government is mind control, nothing more nothing less. they are in the business of Human Livestock Management.

Eliminating government would absolutely result in freedom. No one is protecting you but you. Now or then. It just so happens that now, most people buy the illusion they are somehow 'protected'. It is a laughable charade.
