I don’t fear Zuckerberg using this technology, I fear the government using this technology.

Everyone should. Autonomous weapons are not good for people.

    My argument would be that the government is a representation of its citizens.

    It's up to each individual citizen to make the government work; be it with autonomous weapons or surveillance. Both have legitimate use cases and it is up to the voting public to make sure they are used responsibly.

    Even in developed democracies, only around 70% of the population votes and in the US it is closer to ~60%.
