You're welcome to provide an economist of note who agrees with you. You're welcome to make a real argument for why government is optional, or why it is practical to fund via non-tax channels in today's world (not 1880). You're welcome to provide legitimate examples of advanced societies that thrived or even survived without taxation.

I'll be waiting here with the crickets, and many economists who disagree with you.
