Government can be best described as an "undesirable necessity".
Humans grant authority to others to receive the benefits of defense and public order. However, there is an innate tendency for those in authority to accumulate more power.
In addition, political states, which are hierarchical social structures composed of individuals who have been given authority, outlive their original founders and continue to exert their control over people who were never party to the original social contract. Some political philosophers hold that such forms of government are not legitimate because there is no explicit consent. Unfortunately, no one has devised a practical system for obtaining the original goals (defense and public order) without the undesirable consequences.

What do you think of Thomas Paine's view of government as a necessary evil?
It's a reasonably self-evident assertion. So far, there's never been a government that didn't to some extent, sooner or later, abuse at least some of its citizens; since the task of a government is to protect its citizens, this makes government "evil". Yet there's never been a human society which managed to function without government, which seems to make it "necessary". Thus, a necessary evil.
