Never said people want to take it down.
It exists because people believe it is necessary. They obey it because they believe there is no way civilization could exist without it. Thomas Hobbes fooled them all.
They fear what would happen in its absence.
If you say governments stand only because of fear, that would be something people would happily let go as soon as they could, bt that is not the case. It is convenient. It's absence exposes the more scrupulous to the unscrupulous. It is that simple.

And a lot of other people too...
I support your right to have a government, or a dominatrix, for that matter.
Live and let live
Do you support my right to opt out of having government?
Because, you know, just because some people love being dominated doesn't make it better that the rest is being dominated by threat of force.
Can the cult of gov only survive by forcing people to participate and finance it?
Where's the difference to mafia?
Who is forcing you? What do you want to do that you can't because of government? Real examples please.
The government is forcing me.
If I don't pay they come get my property and if I resist they use violence.
I don't want to be taxed, regulated, told what I can and can't do with my own body.
Real enough?
If no one feared government, it would have no power. Power = ability to get people to do what you say. All of that comes from fear of what would happen if you don't. If you realize nothing will, you don't abide and they're powerless.
I bet you get people to do what you want everyday. Do those people fear you?
There are places governments can't really reach, even inside their jurisdictions, those places are controlled by the organized crime unless it is not economically worthy to them or they haven't yet managed to deploy control there.
fear and confusion is their weapon.
