The government taking over?
Well things would run smoother, supposing that everyone works for
the state and not privately, they should be more willing
to cooperate with each other.
Of course, private interests are increasingly taking over the federal government, so it's questionable how much good could be accompolished.

Furthermore, let's not pretend the state is defined as "cooperating with each other." It is about compulsion, pure and simple. And so is the so-called "private" realm, which is also propped up by legal coercion. To admit this would at least be intellectually honest.
