The question really is "what we mean by government"? As per me , it is our chosen representatives .. If they are our representatives then why would they stop our freedom ? Bitcoin is free from last 15 years in USA and there is nothing stopping it .. that said , any organization must have room to improve - and that is the role of constituents ..
If we start believing collective is inherently bad than the problem is our own body is a collective of 30 trillions cells .. so ..the idea that govs all around the world are somehow out there to harm citizens is absurd.
As for North Korea - I am not an expert and have never been there .. media narratives are hard to believe in these days .. not long ago Russia was bad , suddenly it is not so bad !
As regards to permission less attribute - it is the property of the software .. it is NOT a political statement. Even that is a very big deal given almost all the software that we normally use is permissioned even if it government has no problem with it - try using office 365 ! .. Just because it is permissionless , doesn't mean the word "Illegal" lost it's meaning. Almost everything - physical or software - around us is legal but permissioned - property , access , work .. you name it .. permissionless has lot to serve with in the realm of legal.
