The need for state and government is transitory. Both play the same role as a pair of crutches for a crippled. Some would rather see same analogy with the baby walkers, but to me, this period is long gone and it just happened that no memory exists of that time.

Whichever way, they are a necessity when one cannot walk on his own, but will become a burden upon full recovery. The crutch is made to suit person's own height, weight and fitness. So, neither the government, nor the state can be bigger or smaller than ourselves, for if they are, a trouble will it be for us to move if standing at all. Where the length of a crutch is measured in inches, the size of the state and the government is measured in liberties. Liberty, a social freedom – a reflection of public consciousness, and the consciousness is our only guide in this world.

Government should not regulate the affairs of it's citizens, or any of whatsoever called classes of citizens, instead government should ensure and uphold fairness in dealings through the rigorous defense of the uniform measurements.

All governments, in theory, exist solely for this purpose: uphold the trust in fair exchange.
