What would be the point of overthrowing the government? It’s not like, given a second chance, the people would create something better than a government.
We could form an anarcho-syndicalist commune
Yes but given the chance, the people won’t form an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We know this because they have the chance to form an anarcho-syndicalist commune right now and they haven’t.
They don’t because they’re being repressed by the violence inherent in the system
That violence won’t cease in the absence of a government. On the contrary, it’ll get much worse. See, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Hill_Occupied_Protest#During_the_zone
One thing I think we can all agree on is that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
