Taxation is justified in desperate circumstances

False assumptions often lead to oppression because people (if they hold false assumptions) might intervene when they think (other) people are doing wrong... if the assumptions being made are false this can lead to oppression.

Intervention is not helping; it cannot be refused...

Unless we can be sure that we are in danger, to use force against others will lead to trouble. It is best to desist from doing anything and be patient. If we are being opposed for legitimate reasons then we are not being oppressed, it is a simple matter of law and order. The misuse of force is oppression. The only legitimate use is in defence, not escalation.

Anything other than defensive force must be based on false assumptions. We are ignorant if we are aggressive. The key is to test carefully if it is true that you (or the group) are a victim of the accused.

Who is being attacked; the individual leader, to defend the population, or the group as a whole... being paranoid is dangerous for everyone. Freedom is not a crime. Why not just let people do what they want? We do not owe others for being alive.

Inequality might be fair; if we think of the criminal who is deprived liberty by being shut in a gaol, they do not have equivalent wealth to someone who is free. Do we then owe the criminal? Are they owed medical attention? If someone refuses to help (an unwell criminal, for example) should they be forced? Perhaps... If we are unable to help ourselves seize bread for our starving child then other, third parties may intervene... If we are of the opinion that the desperation of the situation justifies the theft, then it is also justified for a third party to get involved, so then taxes are valid in this scenario.

Taxes are valid to feed a starving child, to mean in a desperate scenario...

Then, to be taxed is to be stolen from by a parent of a starving child; by a desperate person. And arguments to do with rights and wrongs are redundant because the person doing the taking considers their position an emergency and doesn't care about the philosophy, as they are desperate. There is no point arguing about lower taxes because it is not a choice for you, they don't care that you might not like it, that is understood already, not news to them. And if they don't care and don't think it a crime, then who is to say that it is...

Are taxes an emergency measure?

In the eyes of the State and its supporters, taxation may been seen as legitimate in a similar fashion to a crime of desperation, like stealing bread for starving child. If the need is great enough any means might be justified in meting the need. Essentially, although taxation may be a crime, the perpetrators don't care. If we are given something by the State, we do not, generally care too much about its provenance since we defer to the State for our safety.

In summary: Taxation may be a crime, but so what?
