Are you learning? What have you learned here? As I said, it seems like you're mostly just repeating yourself for weeks straight.
With respect to Venezuela, the main thing to emphasize is that there should be no war and the people agitating against Venezuela are tools of imperialism. We can talk about the direction Venezuela should be taking when it is on ground where it is even capable of changing course rather than clinging to survival as others try to dictate its course.
While some of this makes me think that you'd like to read Engels (I already linked you Socialism: Utopian and Scientific in another comment), you are now just talking around the problem, because law enforcement is still coercion.
But as I also told you in another comment that you never replied to, as did others, this is an attempt to depoliticize the state, and it's fundamentally misguided. There cannot be a depoliticized state. You cannot just avoid questions of what should be done and hope that things work out, and all this stuff about "shrinking" the government fundamentally isn't serious political theory. Here is why:
Either the government is enforcing property relations, or the property claimants are enforcing property relations. The tendency of the latter is inevitably to trend toward warlordism, which you might note is functionally also a form of governance.
The Republicans who talk about "small government" (because let's face it, those are most of the people who say that) either don't know the meaning of their assertions, or they are lying to you. The reason is that, insofar as you can trace discussions of the "size" of government to anything in reality at all, it usually relates to regulations. Regulations do not represent a spectrum from freedom to oppression, they represent the extent to which decisions are made by the government versus by the rich. The rich cannot be reformed to make pro-social decisions consistently, there are clear structural reasons that it is impossible because doing so will cause them to lose out to more ruthless capitalists. Only a democratic government, a so-called "tyranny of the majority," has the capability of consistently making choices that benefit most people.
