We can function without a gov. Look into communal living. When you shop, go to work, etc, you don't need a gov. The gov forces mandatory schooling. They tell you if you don't give them money you'll go to prison, also known as tax.

Not with modern living standards, not with the current world population. Sure, having a few people living in caves doesn't need a government, but that's not a realistic option today for most.

That's why everyone can defend themselves. Also there can be security groups that can keep the peace like the cops. The gov is the biggest most powerful asshole
