While I disagree with Kinsella's use of the word government to not imply initiatory force, I think we may benefit from changing how we say things since the vast majority of people seem to be unable to think rationally when the word "government" is involved. Perhaps "state" has less emotional baggage with people?
Government breaks down etymologically into "govern" and "ment." "Govern" comes from the latin gubernare which means to control. There's some controversy on the "ment" part, with many arguing that it derives from the latin mente or mens meaning "the mind," and others arguing that it's from the latin mentum meaning "the result of." So government either means "to control the mind" or "the result of control"; either way, it involves external control, not cooperation, so it is fundamentally and necessarily aggressive, by definition.
Even so, I agree that we may be well served to abandon that word to the sophists and use "the state" instead to mean governments, even though "state" simply derives from the latin status which means "the way things are."
