Everyone talks about Democracy like it's this inherently sacred/good thing.
People forget that a gang-rape is the will of a majority.
Leftists are the biggest beneficiaries of Republicans’ commitment to “save the republic”

The pens direct the guns.
Anarchism and Communism are polar opposites, watch the video.
Inflation is the fiscal complement of statism and arbitrary government. It is a cog in the complex of policies and institutions which gradually lead toward totalitarianism .
— Ludwig von Mises
It's a good thing.
Government has killed more New Yorkers than Al-Qaeda while forcing taxpayers to fund them both.
The world, viewed philosophically, remains a series of slave camps, where citizens – tax livestock – labor under the chains of illusion in the service of their masters.”
― Stefan Molyneux
The fact is that the government, like a highwayman, says to a man: Your money, or your life. And many, if not most, taxes are paid under the compulsion of that threat.
The government does not, indeed, waylay a man in a lonely place, spring upon him from the road side, and, holding a pistol to his head, proceed to rifle his pockets. But the robbery is none the less a robbery on that account; and it is far more dastardly and shameful.
The highwayman takes solely upon himself the responsibility, danger, and crime of his own act. He does not pretend that he has any rightful claim to your money, or that he intends to use it for your own benefit. He does not pretend to be anything but a robber. He has not acquired impudence enough to profess to be merely a “protector,” and that he takes men’s money against their will, merely to enable him to “protect” those infatuated travellers, who feel perfectly able to protect themselves, or do not appreciate his peculiar system of protection. He is too sensible a man to make such professions as these. Furthermore, having taken your money, he leaves you, as you wish him to do. He does not persist in following you on the road, against your will; assuming to be your rightful “sovereign,” on account of the “protection” he affords you. He does not keep “protecting” you, by commanding you to bow down and serve him; by requiring you to do this, and forbidding you to do that; by robbing you of more money as often as he finds it for his interest or pleasure to do so; and by branding you as a rebel, a traitor, and an enemy to your country, and shooting you down without mercy, if you dispute his authority, or resist his demands. He is too much of a gentleman to be guilty of such impostures, and insults, and villanies as these. In short, he does not, in addition to robbing you, attempt to make you either his dupe or his slave.

I'm probably not the right person to ask as it's new to me as well. I used crowder's discount code at spartan armor and picked up the omega set:

Reasonably happy with it so far in terms of fit and finish.
The union for government workers is the people that are governed if you believe the trope that “we are the government”. And most of not all government workers do believe this trope.
Government funded education should be abolished. That's the root of the problem you're trying to solve here.
If the victims of authoritarian extortion, harassment, surveillance, assault, kidnapping, and murder simply stopped assisting in their own oppression, tyranny would crumble. And if the people went a step further and forcibly resisted, tyranny would collapse even more quickly.

The limitation of tyrants is the endurance of those they oppose.

That's bullshit.
Consent is individual, not a collective act.
The limitation of tyrants is the endurance of those they oppose.

Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.

Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget that the state lives at the expense of everyone.

Backing refers to the idea that a currency is redeemable for some good at a fixed rate as used to be the case for US silver certificates.
In this sense, it's true that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have no backing.
Bitcoin is preferable to government fiat because it cannot be diluted by centralized mandates and does not rely on any given authority to operate.
Without the demand that taxes be payed in dollars, I'd never touch their worthless paper again if I could avoid it.
The fact that taxes are required to be payed in dollars is one of the main reasons they retain any value at all.
Eliminating traditional taxation would turn any alternative currency (crypto, gold, silver etc...) into a way to legally avoid funding the State. I'd be all for this, but I don't think the government would allow it.

It is easy to be conspicuously ‘compassionate’ if others are being forced to pay the cost.

We disapprove of state education. Than the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Than the socialists say that we don't want an religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Than they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.
― Frédéric Bastiat
Chopping off the head would be a good thing in this case.
Our country is not like a person where the head is necessary for its thriving.
It is made up more than 300 million individuals, each quite capable of making their own decisions without some fictional head to direct them.
