The issue is never, " should we have government" ?

Its never an issue of, "government or no-government". Obviously, the Many at the Bottom of the triad established by the One and the Many needs government. The direct relation leading down to the lower levels of 'togetherness' demand it. A people cannot survive in a 'condition of togetherness' without the establishment of a government at the Top. Peoples in a 'condition of togetherness' cannot live in the 'condition' for any length of time without some kind of governing. The Top of governing must have 'power' and 'authority' and must get that from somewhere. Obviously, the only source of that kind of 'power' must emanate from the Bottom. Government is Triadic in nature and hence, the Top must get its power and authority from the Bottom. Who else can govern, if not someone selected from the Bottom, by the Bottom, to ascend to the Top of power. There can be no other source of political power. The Duties and Powers of the Top are spelled out in the Constitution. The Duties and Rights of the Bottom are the Freedom and Equality of each individual at the Bottom. Without these two conditions, the Triadic nature of government cannot hold together. If government does not hold together the 'condition of togetherness', we have Anarchy. That's precisely why it is dangerous and dumb, to 'shut down government'. The term 'revolution' describes, in a negative 'tone', something that arises from the People at the Bottom. But, its even worse to initiate a movement in the direction of 'anarchy' when the movement starts at the Top. One would think that so-called political Leaders would have more sense than that. We need some better criteria for judging those who purport to govern us, than money, or 'economic affordability' of political positions. Politics has to stay away from money or the value system of economics and pursue the democratic values of Freedom and Equality. In politics, we don't need a 'medium of exchange', we need an uncompromised democratic spirit of Freedom and Equality.
