The biggest scam in life is thinking you could do everything by yourself. Taxes are used to even the playing field, not to enslave the working class

Most of the taxes are paid by the poor and the working class, isn't that exactly how to not even the playing field?

And that my friend is why it's important to have progressive taxes and taxes on property & capital gains. The latter being the most important.

We already have progressive taxes, property taxes, capital gains taxes and hundreds of other taxes, but still poor people pays most of them. If you are for taxes, you're for rising economic inequalities

Removing taxes would simply hit the low-income earners the most as they rely on public benefits the most. I think the core issue in the US is how the private sector compete with the public sector in areas such as school, healthcare, and infrastructure.

They rely on those public benefits because of the most insidious tax of all, inflation. It makes their salaries lose value faster than their raises roll in, and encourages the larger earners to bid up prices of things like real estate in an effort to escape its effects. No problem is so big that more government can't make it bigger.

Actually it's the opposite. It's well known and studied that richer people lives longer that the poor people, so they get to enjoy the public benefits longer. Also poor people starts to work full time and pay taxes earlier (often as yearly as 16 years of age) than rich people (who often starts working full time only after 27 years of age after schools partially financed by the public). So rich starts paying taxes later than poor and gets to enjoy the benefits longer. If you care about the poor, then you would oppose taxes and public spending.

I see your point, but public services like education, healthcare, and welfare exist mainly to support those who can’t afford private options. Without taxes, the burden of paying for basic needs would hit low-income families hardest, widening inequality. Taxes aren’t about who lives longer or starts working earlier; they’re about creating a society where everyone, regardless of income, has access to essential services.

This is true, and that's why it's very important that the government try to keep the inflation as low as possible. That plus taxes on corporate earnings, capital gains & property. If your government isn't pro low inflation, you simply need to vote for another candidate.

It's very important that the government have no say about the supply or value of the currency to begin with, so as not to distort the functionality of the real economy, whereby all value is produced. The best defense against excess wealth being extracted from the working class by the capitalist class is pitchforks and torches (and a metric fuckton of AR-15's doesn't hurt too), and the lack of a state subsidized by taxes to stand in defense of said capitalists. When you have to actually pay to defend against an angry mob, you have motivation to keep them from getting too angry in the first place. Meanwhile, when the wealthy are looking after the interests of the working class and providing real value to the economy through entrepreneurship and capital, the working classes have motivation not to rise against them. The state is a cancer.

You have a point about supply of the currency. But then you lost me. AR-15 has done more harm than good. I'm curious, how are you going to govern this anarchist society? No matter what direction you turn you still have the ass in the back, and communities of people need some sort of governing organ.

The same way I govern my family. By talking to people, finding out what actions we can all not worry about, and what actions may put someone else in a bad position, and work with them to find wyas of alleviating friction. 'Some ass in the back' sounds like you're referring to someone being aggressive. First, you ask what has spurred the action, and see if it's something that can be addressed diplomatically. If not, actions can be taken to either defend, or extract justice. How communities decide to hold court is for them to decide. As for punishments, I'm not a hig fan of prison. Service to repay debts can work, and outlawry when it can't. Iceland held court for centuries without any executive body; there's plenty to be learned from there.

The issue people tend to have with anarchism tends to be some desire to control and define every facet of governance and life in some utopian ideal, despite no system that does involves government ever actually operating along some robotic algorithm in this manner. I don't have a utopian idea to strive to. I have a principle of non-aggression which I aim to see implemented when it can, where it can, and how it can be. As with most things in life, the perfect is the enemy of the good. There will always be places where someone exercises power in a way that will not be perfectly justified, either because there is a need to act more quickly than communication will allow, because of heated emotions, or other circumstances beyond our control. What matters is how we bring things back to harmony after the fact, and look to improve moving forward. A community is like a marriage, but with a lot more people. Force is not the best medicine.
