Please feel free to consider the meaning of "without government" in the context of your fight against corporates and government itself. You would not need to "abolish government" to reduce access to the judicial and enforcement systems on which you so successfully relied. Some would say that underfunding is already making it harder and harder. Seems to me that further cost-cutting would not result in power handed back to "citizens" but to those with the deepest pockets- meaning multinational corporates and the bankers who have shown how competently they can look after the ranch.

This may not be your intention but it is your example (again) and you have to be more explicit if you don't want people to guess. I have not done you the disservice of concluding that you want to have your cake and eat it too.

Finally and in context you might want to review recent events wrt swine flu vaccine. The US produces only 20% of the vaccines it needs including swine flu vaccine. The rest is made mostly in Europe. If things turn ugly, as of this week it is suggested that the US might not get access to vaccines it has ordered because political pressure will see the vials retained closer to home for the benefit of local citizens. In response the US Department of Health and Human Services announced that it would spend almost $900M to buy supplies of key ingredients for swine flu vaccine. Big pharma seems content to keep making most of it in Europe. QED.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
