Any person who loves freedom and has a decent political history
education knows there's only one thing to fear: government.   Were
there no historic precedent of government enslaving its citizens then
I'd agree with you.

Unfortunately only very recent history has seen any type of
egalitarian governments and many of them, including our own, were
almost overthrown.

Further, many of the autocratic regimes didn't start with a bang, but
a vote. They were slowly created by citizens like you who voluntarily
gave up their freedom with the same justifications you use.

You see, paranoia is the irrational distrust of others.  Historical
precedent, unfortunately, makes fear of government VERY rational.
