Although I'm not really a full fledged law-abiding and patriotic flag holder of my country, paying taxes is part of living in a country governed by a system (which is basically all countries regardless of form of government) that's how society works. An authoritarian entity is in charge of regulating laws and governing a nation and in exchange we pay taxes which would be used to maintain and/or improve the country we live in. Some may even say that paying taxes is a service for your country.

What you're talking about (refusing to follow regulations and taking up arms against the government) is anarchy which would just lead to more disorder. Without any form of a ruling body maintaining order and overseeing, people would just be running around and doing anything and everything they want.

A ruling body governing over a large group of people is not necessarily fascist in nature and the absence of a government or authority does not necessarily mean peace and freedom.
