Government cannot be trusted at all as we acknowledge. If government is big, it can and will allow great evil to happen. Take a look at USSR, China, DPRK, DDR and many other nations that had big government.
It causes millions of deaths and casualties as we acknowledge.
Anyways, we have to remain proactive and make good men active, so they won't do nothing.
All because it's only for evil to triumph if good men do nothing
