"Anyone who thinks taxation is theft is a fascist."

Literally every single anarchist -- including every anarcho-communist -- believes taxation is theft. Many think that it's a lesser or *negligible* evil compared to everything else the state does (or capital does). But still.

You can't think taxation isn't theft without thinking that state violence is legitimate. Many see the state taxing the rich as just thieves robbing thieves, and many are pragmatic about the thin gruel of social welfare programs handed out, but come on.

Also like oh my fucking god, any 'leftist' analysis that fails to note how taxation frequently acts as direct theft from the working poor is a joke. If you don't understand that 'sales tax' for example is a regressive tax that taxes the poor more than the rich, you are worthless.
