ARE GOVERNMENTS INHERENTLY EVIL?

ARE GOVERNMENTS INHERENTLY EVIL?

Probably most people would agree that Nazi Germany's government under Hitler was pretty evil.

That particular government sent many millions of Jews, Catholic Priests and Nuns, homosexuals, people with mental illnesses, and a wide assortment of other people it termed enemies of the state, off to concentration camps after confiscating everything the person owned.

When the people who were sent to the concentration camps weren't able to work at some task in the camp, or when they became too ill or too weak to work anymore, they were slaughtered, and their bodies were dumped into mass graves--huge deep trenches dug out by bulldozers, sprinkled with lime, and covered back with dirt. Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

The government of the Soviet Union was another government that most people would consider to have been evil. Joseph Stalin ordered the mass starvation of millions of the people under his jurisdiction when regions of his huge, patched-together country showed signs of rebelling.

All through the history of mankind, there are horrible examples of evil governments. North Korea is today's example.

A government itself is only a compilation of laws and regulations put together mostly, today, by lawyers to essentially make a country function as a cohesive unit.

I suppose governments as they stand, in the form of a patchwork of laws and operational procedures, are neither good or evil. They're just THINGS put together by men and women.

The men and women who make up the internal workings of a government CAN be very evil.

I don't have the mental capacity to understand how this comes about in countries. I don't know what makes a country start absorbing men and women into its internal government's structure who have no moral limits. Who can openly make laws to have people arrested, usually in the middle of the night, and dragged off to prison or a camp, where they're never heard from by anyone again.

I don't know how a group of overweight cops can beat some scrawny 140 pound mental patient to death openly in this country, and be video-taped doing it, and not be charged with murder, and at least be made to stand trial.

I don't understand how a country who's only claim to world leadership is in it's hired mercenary military, and the development of weapons to make killing more efficient, can consider itself a highly moral and religious country.

Duh!... There's a hell of a lot of things I don't understand.

I do know that even an evil government is better than no government at all.

I remember reading a book many years ago about a group of British schoolboys ranging in age from the very young to around 14, who were stranded on a small island in the South Pacific without any adults when a plane carrying them crashed.

In a period of months the boys degenerated into tribes. Some of the tribes consisted of boys that were essentially evil, and these gangs of evil terrorized all the rest of the boys. The book was titled, LORD OF THE FLIES, by William Golding, published in 1954. The book was later made into a movie.

The thing happening in that work of fiction, on a larger playing field, would happen in real life if this world was hit with a major catastrophe that wiped out communications, and government control.

The comic book smash hit, flat screen series: THE WALKING DEAD, even though it's concept of people dying and then coming back to life as zombies, is pretty impossible, the portrayal of anarchy is right on the mark.

Anarchy is never a good replacement for even a rag-tag police force or military.

I think essentially, a government comes down to the type of culture and people it governs. When a culture loses all its moral fiber--and you all know me, I'm not speaking here of sexual things (although some sexual laws also have to be established) --the country collapses into murder, robbery, and mayhem, and eventually civil war.

We humans are a flawed species. We're capable of the most supreme sacrifices for a cause we believe in, and the most terrible atrocities our imaginations can create.

    Quoting Han54boat:
    There is some evil in government. The problem is how far up it goes or comes down.

    Police and law for them works against people. Police can do what they want. They just have to say 'I fear for my life' or resist arrest over some minor thing.
    I better stop now before I get going.
Cops are like everyone else...they have their good days and they have their bad days.... It's the luck of the draw if we happen to get stopped by one of them when they're having a BAD day.. I personally never sass the guy who's got the big gun!
