I can’t agree with Patrissimo. The point of government IS to come up with solutions to potential problems (other governments, crime, paying for “public goods”, expanding the freedom of the individuals pledging loyalty to the government, protection from the “state of nature”, etc.), through a variety of tools, including coercion.
If we can’t talk about what a future government is actually going to do, then what’s the point of changing to it?
