Kind of agree here. As soon as you accept taxes are needed to one degree or another, it is only a matter of where you draw the line. That’s the real world.

The other bit ‘anti state’ people miss, is that if you have no state, another will come in and control you - they will fill the vacuum.

This is literally the history of the world - weak state or no state resulted in being colonised. States are at worst a necessary ‘evil’ and the only question for me is which format of state I would rather live in.
