Government is an institution used by some to kill or enslave others and steal their property, and can be nothing else.

Politicians, policemen and bureocrats don't "hold" all the property.
They don't have to, since they control it anyway.

I was refering to the owning class, which controls everything around us.

The "owning class" doesn't own everything around me.

Obviously they do, by definition.

Or are you making a distinction between your middle-class hovels and the means of production?
