  17. I disagree. There are what are called common goods. Police, fire, legal system, democracy, defence are the common goods. For example lets take fire. We had a situation in the past where only insured buildings were protected. Problem is that if you are next to a burning building, you are screwed unless they protect next door. So a common system, were all pay in, I don't think is unreasonable. Same for defence police etc. Now lets move onto a problem. If you pay in, and don't get the service, and I'm thinking about the police here in particularly, why should you be forced to pay? You are paying and not receiving. What about pensions for example? Why shouldn't you be allowed to opt out of the state's pension ponzi? You would be better off. You don't pay in, so you don't receive. A quid pro quo, and not a common good. It turns out that well over 80% of the state's 'serivces' are not common goods. So in a consensual society, you can pick and choose which of the non common goods you want. The common good issue, is also about consent. If you don't pay in, but get to force others to fund your common goods, you have violated that other person's right of consent. ie. You have to look at the rights of all involved. e.g. Funding migrants, the people funding have no rights. Lastly for common goods, I would say there has to be direct democracy controlling those elements. So for a non common good, direct democracy is also good. For example, road users pay for the roads, and nothing else. No 300% profit margin. Just road users get to vote on maintenance, etc.  @Paul-li9hq
