That may or may not be true, I’m not sure. Even if it is true, it does not make the statements that “taxation is theft” nor “taxation is slavery” true statements. The fact that things can be provided by collective action is not an argument that proves taxation is theft or slavery. They are not mutually exclusive; both things can be true.

I also question the ethical and moral implications of some services being provided by the private sector. For example, I don’t want private companies funding standing militaries. I don’t want to pay a subscription fee to a private company for military protection. I think that is worse than a state funded military.
