LOL, being so fixed in your beliefs that you can't consider other possibilities. Amazing.
Why consider the possibility that the government is benevolent?
Who stands to benefit from that belief?Thats a strawman. Nobody thinks govt is benevolent. We "statists" think govt play a role in society. They should be criticised if they fail in their role. Its just idiotic to think there should be no govt or private sectors can replace specific governmental roles
Specifically speaking, why have an adminstrator of public services that have profit motive? Like youv'e never been fucked over by a corporation
