the entity that we know of as the government is essentially a parasitic corporation

So they’re not entirely wrong

Correct, but the difference is that it’s legitimate AND parasitic. So we can’t just ignore it like they want to.

Doesn’t even matter if it’s legitimate. If you ignore them, they can and will fuck you up. That matters a lot.

Some define government just means an entity with an effective monopoly on violence in a region. So if they can and will fuck you up, then they’re a legitimate government. Everything else is just pretenses to maintain/justify that monopoly by that definition.
