Anarchism Exposed: Part 1 - Clarifying my stance and defining Anarchism

What I mean is that taxation is the result of voluntary engagement in delegative governance.
(very generally speaking, of course delegates may appoint non-elected members etc)
These delegates are endowed with certain rights over personal property, and the right to enforce that.

"These delegates are endowed with certain rights over personal property, and the right to enforce that."
These are "Rights" that no one has as an individual, and therefore cannot rightfully delegate to another.
The only thing that legitimizes these extrahuman "rights" when exercised by governments is the belief in the false idea that the group has the right to negate the rights of the individual.
