It's really utopian as well. "If we just have the right leader, with the right politics, with the right policies, with the right successors, surely this will all work out forever!".
Nothing will make you sound more insane than knowing a handful of things the government has openly admitted to, never faced consequences for, and therefore proceed to condemn government for. And it literally doesn't matter what government. They're all guilty of something like this.
Most on this board are hardcore collectivists. Therefore, they can't understand the true nature of the State. "If only we had the right leader!"

Nice strawman.
More like, "Well, we're stuck having a leader, so we might as well try to get one that at least isn't promising to do things that I don't want."
Except you're not stuck having a leader. You don't have to pick a "lesser" evil.
Yeah, good luck with convincing the vast majority of humanity to not gravitate towards some charismatic man with a plan when there's a power vaccum.
