I think you're misunderstanding the person you're talking to. They are just saying that anything that can't do those 3 things is not a government.

    There are a lot of things that collapse a government if not done that's not one of those three things, though. Like educating its people. Especially that one for a democratic government, in actual fact.

    I think you're still confusing what you like in a government (e.g democracy) with what something has to do in order to qualify as a government.

    Take a look at this report on education. If we look at a country like Mali the average child there has just two years of schooling and attendence even at primary/elementary school is very low.

    It may not have a government that we like, but it still has a government.
