I think I would swap the word government for collective, but otherwise I completely agree, and yeah, we’re a long way away unfortunately. But we can hope, and inform others, and join/invest in projects that are working towards that end!
The government should be the collective. The fact that it isn’t is one of the roots of the problem, and the FPTP electoral systems of most western countries keeps it that way.
I don’t disagree, but I do think the anarchist idea of a government (which is what I personally had in mind) is so far removed from what most people today can envisage when they hear that word, that it’s still worth differentiating.
