Now let me ask you a question. If from 1776 to today, we had a government like you want, do you think living in the US and Zimbabwe would be any different? |
I would describe some government programs as acts of humanity. I also think that for the extent of human civilization that government has been the main source of humanity, as the primary reason for government is to better the lives of those under it, or atleast for less altruistic governments, to better the lives of those who support it. Most importantly, government decides how humans in a society interact with each other, and many acts considered humane have been made into law.
To answer your question, of course I believe that the US would be better than Zimbabwe. If I didn't think that my social and economic ideas were better than competing ideas, I wouldn't support them.
