"How can you have no government when man has a conscience?" - Kierkegaard
>>
We have government so that's that.
>>
Conscience = Order.
Government = Hierarchy.

Governments and global capitalism do not create order, but rather stimulate intentional chaos for power and profit, which will drown out more natural human order. Conscience means order, not government. Anarchy is not chaos but the absence of hierarchy.

Men deal with problems man to man. The reason government exists is because women operate on emotions and moaned the scrawlings unto stone.

By the power of sheer belligerent vigour.

Refusal to be governed is a leader's virtue, lesser men may aspire and be crushed: this is right.

So, at the end of the line, government is the mechanism for human intellect to transcend.

>implying not all people operate on emotions
Reason is just an instrument.

No, transcendence is a fallacy.

Top of the dirtpile rather.

The only man who is not governed himself is an autocrat, and an autocrat has scant need for conscience.

Society is nothing more than you taking credit for your friends joke at a party.

>someone cuts the head off of a child

Your conscience kicks in and tells you that this is wrong and should no longer happen. You do your best to stop this from happening in the future. Are you now not placing your personal values above others in a hierarchical structure? Is that not the seed of governance?

TLDR

>conscience is what I believe
>government is what everyone else believes
>>

Metaphors are clumsy and deceptive tools for debate.

Government by your definition is any act of one person exerting control over another.

This is not what we mean by government in the political sense: that is a body politic that orders and organizes a nation.
