    Nah. Our state should do more and better things than that.

    I like having a space program, for example. And education for all

        A space program is not optional in today’s world. As is education, among a huge number of different things

            There are many schools of thought on what a government is for or should do and most people do not ascribe to the notions you are presenting as fact.

                It doesn’t matter what you think. Governments are expected and set up to do much more than that around the world and that’s because that’s what their intents are. It’s not just those three things. If what you said was true, we’d have had no meaningful progress on anything.

                  I think you’re misunderstanding the person you’re talking to. They are just saying that anything that can’t do those 3 things is not a government.

                    There are a lot of things that collapse a government if not done that’s not one of those three things, though. Like educating its people. Especially that one for a democratic government, in actual fact.
