But undermining the governments ability to raise tax and therefor to
wage war or not expending energy to prevent government theft is the
‘controversial morality’ that I am sure can be agreed to death and
which probably doesn't belong on this list.
Undermining the governments ability to raise tax also means undermining
the ability to build schools, kindergartens, public libraries, public
transport, streets, etc. Who is going to pay and provide all of this, If
there is no democratically controlled(*) government?
You might argument that this will then be paid be wealthy people - but
the country will depend solely on their will and want. And these wealthy
people are not controlled at all. And these people might wage war, too.
We already had such a system in the medieval time. It:s called feudalism.
So nothing is won by undermining the government.
(*) Democratic control still needs a lot of improvement. Esp. in the USA
where „the winner takes it all“ results in a two-party system, which
does not represent the people. But this is another issue.
