One could also argue that I have a job, culture and home despite the government - not thanks to them.

There are very large and practical advantages of organizing judicial system, infrastructure and other basic, hard to replace societal services through a tax system.

But history shows us that the more a government interferes the less efficient the result will be.

My analysis of the current situation would be that since all power corrupts the governments of today have become hard-handed, arbitrary in their exercise of powers and blind to the consequences. The amount self restraint that an ordinary citizen could expect from governments seems to be long gone, they pass another law, they raise the taxes and use the "social contract" as a pretext.

I am a very firm believer in non-violence and non-force and would like to minimize the use of violence and force as much as possible, advocates of statism and authoritarians in general don't seem to agree with that view.

Please see the article at the top of this thread for a good example of what I'm talking about.

Then go ahead and make the argument.

Also, unless you are an anarchist who rejects all forms of capitalism, then I would argue you do support the use of violence and force, you just support a different kind of authoritarianism.
