 I agree with you, the government is no moral right to rule over you; even if the majority agree to form a representative government. No matter how a government is formed, it only exists as long as the majority continue to believe it is legitimate. However, the utopic vision of anarcho-capitalist ostracism, DROs and defense insurance providers also requires the majority concede to the immorality of government by force of the majority.
