Well this is basically my stance but there is certainly some uses for government. For example, protecting your rights and protecting you from harm from others.
Why can't that be privatized, in your opinion?

Do you disagree that this is true? What evidence is there that this is not true?
Are commercial interests to e.g. protect the environment, ensure safety of products, maximize welfare and human progression, combat injustice or to maximize profits? I think the burden of proof is on you to show that commercial interests do in practice equate those goals. The fact that they "can" is not proof in the least.
