Taxation is Still Theft

You will not hold on to property without the government helping you. You'll be trampled and murdered in minutes.

Government agents don't defend property rights, they come in after the fact of any said property violation to scribble on paper and clean up the bodies.

Cattle and sheep always think they would die without the farmer, and rightfully so.

The only reason you have a house is because of the government in your nation state.

You've gotta be kidding me. I'm Puerto Rican my grandfather built our neighborhood from the ground up on a damn mountain with absolutely no help from the government but San Juan bureaucrats think they can come to our town and charge us taxes for the town we built ourselves. Not only that but the grid system in Puerto Rico isn't privatized, and it's absolutely horrendous. We pay less for electricity by buying a generator instead of relying on government electricity.

Sadly Puerto Rico is imperialized and ruined by the united states government, however that being said, if it weren't for that government you would have been bulldozed completely by other bands of death squads by now. History is important.

You're literally not tall enough for this ride. This coaster is for the big kids. You'll have to stick with the tilt-a-whirl, or something more your speed.

Society predates the State, so your analysis is flawed. The State is in the business of trampling and murdering and especially plundering after society creates wealth for it to parasitically feed upon. And they make sure to scatter just enough crumbs for sycophants to imagine it's a benevolent institution somehow.

so you're arguing for hunter gatherer tribes? Or feudalism? Because both of those things had far less people and far more natural resources.

Hunter-gatherer? If you want.

Feudalism? No. What could possibly give you that idea? Feudal title has no relation whatsoever to property rights as defined by homesteading and voluntary exchange.

It's as if you have never encountered the ideas you wish to ridicule. All you have are strawman arguments, false dichotomies, appeals to emotion, and personal attacks. It seems the left is completely ignorant of ideas outside the political mainstream and their own circles. I could suggest some reading material if you like.

I reiterate: Because both of those things had far less people and far more natural resources.

How is that relevant?

Economics.

Non sequitur

Hey, if you don't know basic supply and demand then that's on you, bud.
