        It doesn’t solve the underlying problem of wealth disparity. You can keep chopping day after day, year after year, but the inevitable solution is going to be: take the wealth and redistribute it. AKA Taxes.

            1. Not having a government leads directly into a violent government

            2. Many countries do this task quite well.

              Plenty of places have little or no government and no billionaires even with States actively trying to fight the idea. Government is only one way of organizing and not a very good or egalitarian one

                If you “organize” a nation full of people to decide on the “rules”, then that is “government” writing the “laws”.

                    If Wikipedia were the sole organization operating within a territory and they decided what people were allowed to do in that territory, then yes they’d abso-fucking-lutely be the government.
