People have short memories. The reason the "government" exists in the first place was because everyone agreed that it was better with it, and it turns out people are shitty and they're going to abuse you to the maximum extent of their physical ability if nothing is there to stop them.
This "organization" you talk about is literally just government. Sorry you don't understand the system that was painstakingly set up for you over the last couple thousand years through bloody trial and error.
That’s absolutely not where government came from. Though I guess if you think government is just any group of people cooperating for any reason then maybe kind of but still not really.
Public services do not require a ruling class to exist to function.
You have two roads that need to get built and nobody wants to wait. Who gets their road first? There is no escaping the necessity of having a decision maker.
