You cannot live in a civilized manner without a functioning government. The problem is not government - it is oligarchy, power focused in the hands of a few people - who then corrupt the government to serve their own sociopathic, suicidal ends.

GOVERNMENT IS NOT THE PROBLEM - IT IS THE CORRUPT, UNCONTROLLED GREED OF THE BILLIONAIRE ELITES.

Can you name a single government that has never fallen to the elites in society ?

Off the top of my head no. But obviously that doesn't mean we ought to ignore the problem.

How are the billionaires corrupt but the government isn't? This is South African judiciary logic where they convict Shabir Shaik of having a corrupt relationship with former president Jacob Zuma but somehow don't convict Jacob Zuma.

Who said that?

We all know that governments can be corrupt.

The problem in the United States is that the government has been corrupted by the money that they are getting from the corrupt corporations.

You've just said it! You're blaming the corporations for corrupting government but not blaming the government for being corrupt. How can only one side of a corrupt relationship be guilty?
