The word government can mean self imposed limits upon the self.Some people are liars, and they do not impose the self imposed limit of only using words to convey accurate meaning, upon themselves, so instead of that limit they use words to injure their targeted victims with those words. The common law term is fraud.
A liar may learn how to transfer all the power created by all the productive people in the world to that one liar, if that one liar could make the targeted victims believe the lie that the liar is the power of government.
If you believe that the liars are the power of government, you may, by being subject to that lie, transfer most, if not all, of your power to those liars.
You may give up your own precious power to govern your own precious self.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.
_______________________________________________
A group of self-government people created a Free Market Voluntary Government then called a Democratic Federated Republic under The Articles of Confederation, including Sovereign State Constitutionally Limited Governments, and Trial by Jury based upon sortition.
In other words the mechanism by which The People could enforce improvement in the Free Market of Government was put in place by those people, and it worked. It worked as a Voluntary Free Market Government Power that did not "have to" be the lesser of two evils, instead it was a government that could be a choice of which government was higher in quality and which government was lower in cost.
It was, in those days between 1776 and 1788, a Free Market Government Power, so Thomas Paine was speaking historically in Common Sense in 1776, and Thomas Paine was not speaking currently, as the Free Market Government Power he was much a part of, was at that time improving the supply of good, defensive, moral, high quality, and low cost, government, at that time.
Unfortunately, as today, as then in 1776, the really evil ones, like those Central Bankers of old, those financiers of The British Crown, those Alexander Hamiltons, those treasonous vipers, there still exists evil people, doing evil things, and they create these so called choices between Evil A and Evil B, which are false choices, they are liars.
There still exists, in many people, the self governing concepts of common sense, common laws, based upon every sense of the word morality, to do no harm to no one, whenever possible, and that includes the concept of choosing not to abandon past, current, or future victims who may need help as those victims are currently being lied to, threatened, and injured by criminals inside of, or outside of actual, true, just, right, moral, common, law.
You may find, as I found, it interesting to know that the use of the word "anarchism" to mean the opposite of what it commonly means today, was originally turned from BLACK to WHITE by a person named:
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

Quoting from the above link are the words offered by:
Steven Pearl Andrews
______________________________________________
Another of Proudhon's startling paradoxes, seemingly so at least, and I think we shall see really so, is the use of the term anarchy, to denote not chaos and confusion, but the basis of order in the freedom of the individual from the control of others.
Etymologically, this use of the term has a show of reason as it merely means absence of government, and a writer has the right, if he choose so to revert to etymological origins; and frequently there is a great advantage in so doing. There is a loss it is true in the temporary obfuscation of the mind of the reader, but, it may be, a more than compensating advantage in arousing deeper thought, or in furnishing a securer technicality. But in this ease the disadvantage is certainly incurred; and neither advantage is secured. There are two very different things covered by the term government: personal government by arbitrium, and the government of inherent laws and principles. Proudhon is denying the rightfulness of the former, and affirming the latter.
Now the Greek arche meant both of these things; but if either more peculiarly than the other, it meant the government of laws and principles, whence the negation of such rule by the prefix an has meant, and rightly means, chaos. Proudhon undertakes to make the Greek word mean exclusively the other idea, whereby he spoils one excellent technicality without getting for his other purpose a secure and good one in place of it.
