A government is really just a Lockian Social Contract, in all fairness.

No, it's a group of people with guns

Exactly that....the only power they actually have is the power we give them. If we all said no together there is nothing they could do to stop us taking it back, sadly most are still asleep and believe they need to be ruled over.

This is what happens when you deny original sin: authority comes from God. No system is perfect. Freedom is not an end unto itself, but the right to do the good.

exchange was but your logic and understanding of truth makes you a dominant ...you win.

Which seems to be less of a problem if the populace is well armed.

Your getting a bit too simple Stefan, we can also say organized religion came from a club footed caveman. When government controls the people instead of the other way around, is the same as when the church controls who talks to god. Both are bogus.

You could argue money or medium of exchange has also become totally conceptual.....

A universal dynamic in human society is a concept worth intensive study and scrutiny. A concept with the potential real-world lifespan of a housefly not so much. Who has the guns is much more important than whose think-tank paper is cleverer.
