GOVERNMENTS EXIST ONLY BY SACRIFICING YOUR FREEDOM
The only way for a government to effectively do anything or ‘get the job done’ is for the common people to give up that power to the government. The power of any government is dependant upon the will of the people, or more accurately the sacrificing of the will of the people to the government.
Pre-war Nazi Germany had a government that got things done. The people gave away their power to the new regime, literally—history records that Adolph Hitler was voted into office by the people. He did not overtly wrestle control from the people as is commonly believed. That is not to say that he didn’t cleverly maneuver his way to power—all power hungry politicians do exactly this. It is called covert control. But it is impossible to truly control anything, much less a people. Failure is always the result. Sure enough, the Nazi government (if it can be called that) led the German people to self destruction.
Post-Revolutionary War America had a very small and limited government with little ability to get much of anything done. The first Americans were hardy and self-reliant. When something went wrong, they took care of the problem themselves if it was possible to do so. Only when the problem was too big or the common people lacked what was needed to take care of it did they ever give up any power to the government. So it should always be in the case where any government at all is needed.
Ultimately, the ability of a government to tyrannize or force the common people is wholly dependant upon the willingness of the people to be controlled.
If it is possible to have a Utopia on earth (and I doubt such is possible in this Dualistic Universe) then rest assured it could never be realized if a controlling government still exists. The dream of Utopia cannot even come close to manifesting unless all people exercise self control and remain as individually and completely autonomous as possible, unwilling to give away even a smidgen of their personal power, their sovereignty, their very free will to choose the life they desire to live.
When tyrants appear, the blame lies solely on the people for allowing such a person to take control over any part of their lives. The easiest way to depose a tyrant is to simply take back the power of self-determination that was given to the tyrant and refuse to be controlled in any way. Just say “NO”, and leave him/her no option but to crawl back to whatever dark corner of the world they came from.
