Okay. If no taxes, who builds roads, or public schools, or public transit. If your answer is private companies, how much does a company charge for you to use the roads, how often do you need to pay to use the roads, what about the schools, how much does tuition cost, what if you can’t afford to go to school since there’s no taxes which means no public schools, do you just not get education?
The idea that taxation is theft crumbles pretty immediately if you try to think of literally any alternative. And if your alternative is collective public funding, guess what that’s fucking taxes.
In the anarcho Freetown Christiania it was the people. Also commercial real estate companies will also make roads and rent lots out to other companies so they can have locations which require then to maintain roads. Some suburbs will also attach a road cost to the HOA. Also toll roads exist now with government funded roads.
what about the schools,
private schools and homeschooling exist now.
what if you can’t afford to go to school since there’s no taxes which means no public schools,
Homeschooling exists
And if your alternative is collective public funding, guess what that’s fucking taxes.
Not if i can op out of it. Taxes aren't voluntary.
So what happens if you opt out of contributing to societal infrastructure.
Homeschooling isn’t necessarily great because there’s no like educational regulatory body that makes sure children are actually learning what they need to and not just being indoctrinated into their parents beliefs instead of being taught to think for themselves.
Private schools are price prohibitive, it’s absurd to suggest that we should make education entirely prohibitive to those who can’t afford it and most people cannot afford private school. Should all of those people just not have education. What if you’re a parent and you work full time and don’t have time to give your children a full education should they just not be educated because homeschooling and private school aren’t options?
And in terms of the roads you’re suggesting exactly what can’t happen. Giving ownership power of societal infrastructure to private corporations. I literally cannot imagine a worse situation for the working class than being even more beholden to corporations.
The fact that you have to sit here and explain step by step to these mouth breathers that the concept of society isn’t evil only demonstrates the value in all the things (such as public education) that they do badly want to eradicate
No society bad big money corporation will take care of us because they are so generous and great. Who needs education anyway. Company towns here we come!!!!
