while I think I can sympathize with your feelings about government force being applied wholesale against human liberty, perhaps there is a better way to fight the fight.
There is a view that can unite most people. Sure, if it's "our" government and it's serving our real needs, protecting our real liberties, that would be the better case. The reason such a government is necessary is because within human nature there is a kind of evil that will always be there. People who would abuse power will always be among us. That is the fundamental reason why the Marxist "utopia" or other utopian sorts of idylls are fundamentally false or delusional.
The essential levers of government must be effective provisions against usurpation or abuse of power. One approach for doing that is to fundamentally deny government excessive powers in the first place. Another is the give people real effective influence in the voting or electoral process. Well, try to protect that power.
giving the State control of education has got to be the worst affront against human liberty of them all. It essentially gives government the power through propaganda to establish acceptable beliefs, speech, and conduct, resulting in some form or another of a "State Religion". In the dark ages of Europe, this was the power that reduced mankind to peasantry/serfdom. It will do the same or worse under secular humanist claims of "truth".
Without independent "education", people cannot take stands to protect their liberty. They have no ground to "stand" on, because the State will prescribe morals and conduct, speech and thought.
The best view that can unite us is respect for free speech, differing opinions, and the innate right of humans to form core morals of their own choosing, and protecting individualism against intrusions from majorities.
