Government is essential to the 'condition of togetherness', but; Government must govern the 'real individual'.

Government is essential to the 'condition of togetherness. But 'Government' and its functions can very easily be misunderstood and misconstrued. "To Govern" means to 'order', 'structure', and 'guide', on a daily basis, the 'condition of togetherness', in its governmental functions. Government is a 'guide' not a 'rule'. It passes 'Laws' to structure the movements of the populace and its Institutions. Of course, that includes the 'economy' and its Institutions, as well as the Institutions of Religion and of the so-called 'Social'. Government must govern the 'condition of togetherness. It has no other function. As we've said before, one man, maybe even two men, on an Island, do not need Government. They may need Morals, rules of behavior, but they do not need Government, nor Laws. But, unlike the 'term' "the social", the term the 'condition of togetherness' retains the 'Individuality' of each person. The Individual does not blend into some nebulous 'abstract term' devoid of 'the reality of each and every human being' constituting the 'condition'. As such, Government governs the 'real individual', not the 'social', in all its abstract, surreal, nebulous, manifestations. In other words, Government governs 'real People', not 'nebulous abstractions'. Its very easy to fool ourselves into believing the 'words', and ignoring the reality. We must also be very careful not to confuse the 'terms' of government with the terms of the economy. Government is 'motored' by 'Freedom and Equality', and the economy, is 'motored' by profits. Today, it appears, that even 'politics' is in danger. When politicians conduct a campaign according to the unwritten rules of a 'bar-room brawl', and 'personality assassination', Democracy is in trouble. Where are the 'Governors'; the 'States-persons'; where is 'real' Democracy?
