without government, I would have no rights. So, a bit of a catch 22.

Look, I'm not in favor of zomg big government running everything, but for necessary services like healthcare, infrastructure, defense, etc. I think it serves a valuable purpose.
I also think a communal ownership of necessary commodities like oil, gas, electricity, water, etc. should also be put into place.

I guess I'm a democratic socialist at heart. I agree that government often is "the problem," but I also believe that government can be the solution sometimes too.
