lol, So as long as I post Pro-Goverment, Pro-Socialism message/comments that is "on topic" for hacker news

Is this the offical position now of Hacker News? Libertarian Topics are not allowed? As I do not see you "detaching" any of the Pro-Government Comments

I see taxes as a sign of civilization.

So the amount is irrelevant?

and I see taxation as Violence.

I believe we can Accomplish a lot with out Taxation.

I think we can even have a Universal Basic Income with out taxation. Geo-Libertarians have long proposed such a plan creating Universal Basic Income Derived from Commons Rent

I do not believe to have a civilization you must hold a gun to someones head and take a part of their labor or insert yourself in every financial transaction unethically taking a cut of that transaction like the mafia's protection racket...

So you believe in order for there to be "civilization" there has to be massive institutional wide scale theft under constant threat of violence?

You do not think very much of humanity do you?
