I think governments can obligate you to pay dues, like any organisation you can join, and this is not necessarily and always an injustice, so long as you are free to ask or agitate for redress, or to simply leave, and thereby refuse their governing.

Governments, like all organisations, also face market pressures to reform and maintain attractiveness. They are not outside of, or above, the market. They are simply usually the largest and most-powerful participant within a particular region. The more important thing for me is that governments should be many, small in scope and size, adhere to the principle of subsidiarity, and be focused on protecting the natural rights of the citizenry who finance and support their upkeep.

according to their perspective, we are their employees, if you see what the technical name for government laws it is "statutes" and these are the rules governing the employees of a corporation

and all governments are registered corporations, the Queensland government, for example, is registered as the Brigalow Corporation.

their enforcement officers, the police, assume that you are what essentially amounts to being an employee of the state except they don't pay you, i mean, how much more obvious can it be that they consider us their slaves, and that they are a plutocracy?

You join, automatically, under certain conditions.

Otherwise, there could never be a citizenry, as there would be nothing making them distinct from everyone else on the planet.

Citizenry given automatically must then be purposefully renounced, in order to unjoin.
