STATISM (GOVERNMENT)

Could not state it clearer than this.

 
“Statism” (or “Government”) is the brilliant idea that we give a small 
group of people the right to kidnap, imprison, harass, steal from, 
and/or kill people … so that we can be protected from those who would 
kidnap, imprison, harass, steal from, and/or kill us.
