Taxation is Still Theft

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.

That is not what the term means. You're just spewing phrases that make no sense in this context.

There are less resources (supply) and more people (demand) than the beginning of the human race, therefore your minecraft conspiracy philosophy isn't reasonable. You don't know history OR economics. It's hilarious and also pathetic.

Now there are more resources available for use, more innovative ways to use the resources available, and more people to split the production process and make exchanges for mutual benefit. If you think there was more wealth in the past with less people, I am afraid you may be the one with a flawed understanding of economics and history. Technological advancement has multiplied productive capability.

The market of price information signals where there is high demand, and offers a reward incentive for supplying that demand. If supply exceeds demand, or demands change over time, prices fall and profits (the reward for satisfying wants) vanish. That is what "supply and demand" means, in a nutshell. It does not mean less people = more supply, as you seem to assert.
