My argument was in response to the idea that government is a business, I said that rather than a business, government is more similar to a protection racket. Not that governments are exactly the same as protection rackets, which seems to be the words you're accusing me of writing.

You are afraid that if we think of governments in a skeptical or cynical way, we must then be advocating for anarchy. That's an emotional argument and it has no place in an intellectual conversation.
