    The only way taxes become unecessary is if money, and a profit based society, stops existing.

    If not, well…

    • The guys fixing the roads need to be paid a fair wage to afford rent, food, and amenities.
    • The nurses at the hospital need to be paid a fair wage to afford rent, food, and amenities.
    • The librarians need to be paid a fair wage to afford rent, food, and amenities.
    • The postal workers all need to be paid a fair wage to afford rent, food, and amenities.
    • The office workers slaving away at a desk to manage all the government’s resources and finances need to be paid a fair wage to afford rent, food, and amenities.

      That’s the point, instead of money society should use a community bartering system in an anarchist context. Not a direct 1 to 1 person barter, because that would complicate things, but a community to community one

        I don’t want Anarchism. It can work as a transitional period till we develop a new system, but I want a centralised system with strong civilian oversight.
