The liberal/libertarian hatred for tax and arguments like "tax is theft and immoral" essentially aids the regressive taxation that exists in the neoliberal world. It's nothing but a push to sustain the status quo and can't be seen as championing the ideal of liberty.
@ilr @dearthofsid aren't you consenting to be taxed when you earn money/use resources of the place where you live? Like...how does this not make sense?
(also I did think it was a very rw/conservative thing to not want to be taxed. Liberals believe in tax being theft is news to me!)
True. That’s why we like to call ourselves classical liberals.
Yes, classical liberals were anti-estab and so are we. We agree with chomsky on the evolution of liberalism and we DONT subscribe to the Freidman school because we believe, just like Chomsky the "anarchist", that the State should not exist at all. If u dont have a state you cant have taxes so problem solved.
Where Chomsky is in trouble, in our opinion, is that he doesn’t understand economics. Or rather his economics is Keynesian whereas ours is Austrian.
@ilr classical liberals were anti-establishment. the rw liberals who are pro-free market are the opposite of classical liberals.
