Government's claim that they are in place to achieve (or maintain) peace, freedom and equality for all. Yet, because peace, freedom and equality coming about would eliminate any need for government can a government's true aims ever be what they claim?

In general anything is possible - we will need the gvt for logistics - regulating, road building, social services and such. I should point out that different people can have different views on what peace, freedom and equality really mean so pleasing everyone would be impossible, but I don't feel that the government would stall their efforts for fear that the govt wouldnt be needed anymore.

Not if Humans Rule ItVoted for by silverfang420.
Humanity in general is simply too flawed to get along. No governing body can simply say "Okay, all of us like all of them, and that's that." Somewhere there will be ignorant or prejudiced or bigoted people who are simply too set in their ways to even attempt to accept those who they previously saw as their enemy.

The Balance Must ExistVoted for by Holistic.
No.
Utopia, is nothing but an idle fantasy, and a bad one at that. War, Death, Slavery, and unequality are nessecary to establish a negative spectrum in things. This negative spectrum is as important as the positive, and one cannot exist without the existance of the other. A balance must always exist in everything. Imagine a world without war etc.; everyone would have to agree on everything and everyone would have to be exactly the same, any difference or anamoly would constitute reason for prejudice and conflict, and ultimately war. And the opposition of that would be complete chaos (anarchy). So even though these atrocities namely war and genocide exist they are need to balance out the equasion that is reality.

Of course notVoted for by Diemgordon.
Government is coercion by nature. At best, it's something the people who get it can use to keep those who don't from making too much trouble. At worst, it's something those who are in it use to steal from those who aren't. History shows that all governments so far tend toward the worse end.

is that really a question
the govt will never create peace cause there will always be one person or group of "individuals" that will disagree with everyone then that will set off a chain reaction of stupid posers that will pretty soon become the latest trendPlease register or login to comment! It's totally free
