Government or no government, the people are screwed on a daily basis.
Except when the government screws you, you can't do anything about it. They are the "law" |

No...we wouldn't. The government is the only reason you probably haven't been shot yet.

governments are designed to both retain order (which, if people are brought up with a strong moral sense is irrelevant) and to create a hivemind of sorts pool resources together and specialize the human race so that we can achieve greater things
not much different than an ant colony to be honest

"government was established to prevent communism"
But communism is a form of government, a very bad form of government in practice (theoretically it's ok)
"No...we wouldn't. The government is the only reason you probably haven't been shot yet."
I'm not saying no government is the best idea, but can't the government legally come in your house, shoot you, and find a way to say you were a "terrorist" or something of the sort? |

| communism does not count as a form of government because it exists to take control over the population and that is not what government is about |

Not without sufficient evidence. I get the feeling you're stereotyping here, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Government would be fine if: 1. People were raised to respect each other and serve the common good, not serve themselves 2. The government was comprised of people who had other responsibilities, and weren't career politicians 3. The people didn't care about sports more than the government |

If we are talking about government in general, I'm correct. But it's getting to the point where if you some sort of doubt against you, the government can step all over you. Not kill you, but spending time in jail isn't fun either |

I might be wrong,but I believe people like the police and government need a warrant from court to enter your house.

impossible.
"2. The government was comprised of people who had other responsibilities, and weren't career politicians"
possible but you'd have to resolve #1 first thus making this impossible
"3. The people didn't care about sports more than the government"
that's a problem with upbringing too much importance placed on the wrong things easily fixed

Well in many states, such as New Jersey, the police can search you, and possibly arrest you, if they find you "suspicious"

"then why dont we fix it"
#1 and #2 are unresolvable due to a fault directly within the human composite essentially no go
#3 is feasible but once again you're looking at a fault in the human composite aka we have too much free time thanks to this system, and thus have no reall incentive to care about said system
anyways, i'm tired & going to get some sleep hope i've gotten my ideas across
