Huh?

Religion and government are full of dogma. Right vs left comes to mind? Academia is not as dogmatic as special interest. Dogma is often associated with agenda. Academia has no agenda.

University professors are Bureaucrats and very dogmatic from my experience. They have agendas based-on philosophical ideologies. Adding politickal motivation to such ideologies can & does have dangerous consequences; it is a good thing they remain separated. Marxism, Communism, National Socialism… all these began as academic ideologies.

Academics are idealistic, not realistic thinkers. Ideologies put into practice can have bad (or good) results. But either way it is risky. If a society needs 'Change' then this maybe a good approach. But a wealthy & successful society should not take great risks; why make big risks if you are already wealthy & successful as a society?

Why do we need any governement at all, beyond a basic legal system?

Because criminals break the rules. And a government is needed to enforce laws. This means: police & military are necessary to prevent theft, rape, murder, etc.
