Government does not need total power, but don't take it for granted.

I DON'T EXACTLY THINK THE ANTI-GOVERNMENT PREROGATIVE MAKES SENSE. THE GOVERNMENT IS WHAT WE SEEK TO PRESERVE AND AMEND WHEN NECESSARY (WHICH IS NOW!), AND IT SHOULD NOT BE THOUGHT THAT MAN DOES NOT NEED GOVERNMENT. AS JOHN LOCKE PUT IT, WE CHOOSE TO LIVE UNDER GOVERNMENT. GOVERNMENT IS SUPPOSED TO DEFEND OUR NATURAL RIGHTS, WHILE WE FOLLOW ITS LAWS AND PAY ITS TAXES- BUT, IF ONE BECOMES DESTRUCTIVE OF THOSE ENDS, EVERY RIGHT IS GRANTED TO THE PEOPLE TO REVOLT. GOVERNMENT IS NOT TO BE A LEVIATHAN AS HOBBES SUGGESTED, BUT RATHER, IT IS MEANT TO BE A SHIELD OF THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS. STATING THAT GOVERNMENT IS WRONG IS CONTRADICTORY TO AMERICAN BELIEFS FROM THE BEGINNING, AND IS RATHER RESEMBLANT OF ANTIFA'S VALUES. ALLOW ME TO SAY AS A CONSERVATIVE:
