You're right. The propaganda machine is too powerful so it's too difficult to beat.
You don't have to attack it head on.
For decades the push by those that are enlightened was to end the Fed.
But Bitcoin offered us an alternative approach. Instead of ending the Fed, create an alternative path for people to choose instead of Federal Reserve Notes.
Same with taxation. Don't work on ending taxes in tyrannical states. Work on creating alternative paths for those that get it. Something like
seasteading.
I think seasteading should be a great option for several reasons. I never quite thought about it like just now though. You could literally have no taxes. I mean, the people that are working on building these communities on the water will pay for everything, of course. It's not cheap, but they won't have to deal with "supporting" a huge government and population of lazy poor people with their money. You could earn money, buy and sell and not have to answer to an IRS. I'm sure they'd have to pay some fees to maintain the platforms, etc., but I'm sure that wouldn't even come close to comparing to the amount of taxes they'd pay in the US, for example. It certainly wouldn't be a percentage of what they earn, at least.
Whenever you have to do extra to protect yourself, you are being taxed in one way or another. In seasteading, protecting yourself from a rogue 100 foot wave might be taxing.
