I think we have a misunderstanding, i consider any position of authority "government". In my view there is no difference between a band of armed thugs taking control of an area and a "state sanctioned" armed force occupying an area, both are authoritarian. The fact that one authoritarian group functions somewhat better while being controlled by a bigger authoritarian group isnt relevant to me, as i believe they would all function even better without authoritarianism period.
