Government is elected. Government at least pretend to have citizens interest as priority. Government have no stakeholders. I don’t believe that he real selling corporate new order publicly like that.

And yet governments were solely responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths in the 20th century alone.

A government is whoever has control of violence. When a warlord takes power, that is the government. Multiple factions competing for that seat is the "state of nature" talked about in Hobbes' Leviathan (book that created modern democracy).

Ancient countries nothing I’m interested in. Failed states after uprising that destabilize the government & overthrow them. at least it’s a recent events we can discuss, not some poorly documented & exaggerated stories from history books.
