Taxation, when it is coerced is no different than theft. Some people get confused because of the costumes some actors wear. It's the action that matters, not the costume. If someone threatens to kidnap you and put you in a cage if you do not pay them extortion fees when you didn't consent to the arrangement in the first place, or just go to someone else who happens to be holding your assets to seize your assets, that is still theft. That is fundamentally the same action that a mugger or burglar uses. Yet we think that the former if said actor of the state wears a costume is legitimate and even necessary, while the latter is criminal. It is not. They are both criminal, but those so costumed and acting under a badge represent organized crime of the highest order.

People have a short memory. Fortunately I remember a long ways back. Often statists ask the question "who will build the roads?". Where I'm from, my ancestors built the road because we farmed hundreds of acres in the area. This is what Manwaring Rd looked like in 1941...

This is how all roads started, but people wanted to drive faster, so pavement was invented and the same people who created the dirt roads under their own volition then started using paving techniques but it was "sanctioned" by government. The farm equipment that my family was using was sometimes used to level out the potholes.

Absent some authority dictating and organizing people, people will still come together to cooperate and will be doing the same things as before, but will at the end not be left poor because someone has a talent for shuffling papers around.

The same thing goes for crime. The so called victimless crimes where no one has been harmed are nothing more than a government extortion racket used to enrich parasites. These same parasites then when called upon to do something about crime that actually has victims, rarely make the victim whole. Do they compensate victims or order criminals to do so? Rarely. It has become theater. Someone who has lost family to murder is never made whole again, but the state organizes a trial in these cases and sometimes puts offenders in cages so that they can't repeat the offense. But the victim is usually left recked. The state doesn't take it upon themselves to compensate the victims of crime, except in a few cases where they are guilty themselves.

@adamkokesh has proposed crime insurance to make victims whole again, but it is an opt in system. First, one must own themselves completely and take full responsibility. There are no guarantees in life.
