The government is antithetical to freedom

"In the same way [governments] pretend to support temperance societies, while they are living principally on the drunkenness of the people; and pretend to encourage education, when their whole strength is based on ignorance; and to support constitutional freedom, when their strength rests on the absence of freedom; and to be anxious for the improvement of the condition of the working classes, when their very existence depends on their oppression; and to support Christianity, whem Christianity destroys all government." - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is within you, pg. 89
