  1. We do need a government, but not a bureaucratic government led by a centralized legal person (political party) or a person (strong man). What we must need is a social consensus procedure/protocol to furnish any necessary social contracts. The so-called "government" is the toolkit to accomplish the social contracts by enforcing the social consensus procedure/protocol. In a nutshell, government is a tool, not the goal. The fundamental stupidity of the leftism is always regarding government as their goal, so that the leftists can enforce their utopian concepts upon us and deny our own free wills. The center piece of leftism is always the external salvation (Extra some-left-shit Nulla Salus) disguised as altruism. A leftist is essentially a denier of self-salvation no matter what he/she says orally. IMHO, modern leftism is the direct successor/heir of medieval Catholicism, and we are still in a struggle of a modern variant of the Thirty Years' War. The key piece of the struggle is not really about a religion or political power as interpreted by mainstream historians, but about the fundamental choice between Extra-SomePerson-Nulla-Salus and Self-Salvation. Choosing the former, you are a leftist; Choosing the latter, you are not. Government so far is always an EXTERNAL and MANNED (bureaucratic) entity on top of we the citizens (social contractors). Nevertheless, I think this is merely a historical fact; I don't think this is an objective truth. Why? Because RIGHT NOW WE KNOW that an UNMANNED regulation can accomplish any social contracts by enforcing BLOCKCHAIN-BASED social consensus procedure/protocol. It is called DeFi (Decentralized Finance), a realistic Blockchain-based design now. I don't see any technical barrier of DePo (Decentralized Politics), aka. Blockchain-based Government, because political activities and financial activities are essentially the same thing, that is, (socially-)consensused transactions. Let me call this Blockchain-based UNMANNED government as Nakamoto Government. My point is that, we only need this UNMANNED Nakamoto Government, NOT the legacy MANNED governments. As to Trump and Musk's DOGE efforts, I respect their endeavor and fighting spirit against the legacy manned governments. But I personally don't think they will succeed. Even if we suppose they can reduce the federal government by half (which is very unlikely) at the end of Trump administration (year 2028), I can predict that the federal government will grow back to its current size (2024 size) within a decade or two. The MANNED DOGE effort will eventually fail in any long run. And the only solution to the DOGE problem is an UNMANNED government, such as a Nakamoto Government I abovementioned.
