There are still a lot of underlying assumptions here worth noting though. You're assuming we must have a government and what it must be able to do, like charge me taxes or gatekeep certain activities behind licensing systems.

I'm not arguing we don't need a government. But to silently take for granted that everything from income taxes to public roads and travel restrictions are a given jumps ahead here.

We could decide, for example, that the government shouldn't be allowed to centralize certain data and remove some of what we expect them to do instead.

How exactly government manages our data is a valid concern and in the modern world this needs to be reevaluated.
