Replying to Neopatriarch

I never made any such claim.

It wouldn't be immoral, but it wouldn't be wise either.

I'm something of an abolitionist, but I cannot do it alone. I'm just one man crying aloud in the wilderness hoping to find allies and build consensus.

I'm an ally not an adversary.

I'm all for no taxes don't get me wrong, I am just trying to be realistic on what is possible for the average person, we can all talk about what can and should be done, but what is actionable?

Right now if you want to use fiat you must pay their fees, inflation, taxes and exchange fees, Bitcoin only has mining and routing fees but trading it for goods and services comes with friction, so everyone still has a choice in a way

Its definitely not ideal, in South Africa the inflation and tax squeese is really crushing us, but I still have to pay it to eat and live, no way around it, I can only salvage some of it and put it into Bitcoin

If there was other options, for the average man I'd be all for it

I think the thing to remember is there are a lot more average people than there are rulers. Significantly more.

Unfortunately, most peoples when they throw off one tyrannical ruling class, are only to quick to install another.

Perhaps you can think of an example of this.

In the US the people threw off British rule, only to adopt local rulers that have become objectively worse than King George could ever hope to have been.
