Where is the should?
I don't have a choice. If I did, then we could talk "should".
I'm stolen from regardless.
That's the problem to begin with.

You kind of do have a choice. Black market incomes are not taxable. Some choose that route. Often just undocumented work, and pay under the table.

Yes, and why should I hide and be forced to go through hoops to be free, to act or feel like I'm guilty, when the entire system that you're advocating, is immoral?

If people require the transit system to travel they realise they must pay. You then have riders asking why they should be stolen from simply to ride. The paying riders are stolen from.

If people require a transit system, then unless there's a monopoly on violence, there will be competing services/businesses to meet that demand.

The system is moral. The only theft is from those not paying into the system. Like some public transit, paying is on the honor system. If no one paid the transit wouldnt work.

The system is immoral. The theft is from those who do not consent and are included anyway.
If payment was on the honor system, people would not be included without consent.

The theft from the system is immoral. The theft is from those who contribute, while one decided to not contribute. It is leeching off others.

I wish I could "steal" by not contributing.
If I could I would not be talking about anarchism. It would be pointless.
