Anything except self-governance, is an abuse. It abuses those who have been taught to go along with this external governance by those running the governance system. Its all it ever was, all it can ever be. There is no social contract, its all abuse. Legalised theft to put in roads, or remove them, as at present.
If some people want to work together, to opt-in voluntarily to do this or that, as long as it doesn't harm another - then great. To have this immoral monolith writing laws that no one can justify, is ridiculous. All pretence of legitimacy is gone, it is simply about control.
The above is not a political argument. It is a moral one. What circumstances allow one to forcibly extract from another and steal 40% of their work, or worse and then have the gall to call itself "good"? How big does a gang have to be to gain rights than an individual does not have? No one would think it "right" that I demand 40% of their income! Government is just an extractive mafia system that attempts to pose as the "best we've got", whilst using force to knock down any alternative possibilities of management.
