People who advocate for the removal of privacy seem to accept five simple assumptions:

- The government always has good intentions
- The government always has good policies
- The government never makes mistakes
- The government leaders and workers never individually abuse their positions
- The government will retain the above properties over historical timescales (i.e. centuries, not years/decades)

The people who believe all these assumptions don't understand the real world, and certainly haven't based these assumptions on any current, historical or theoretical form of government that I can name.
But that doesn't stop them from making assumptions that don't align with reality, or (too often successfully) pushing policies to take away the rights of others.
