Paying Taxes is the reason we are getting Health services, Law enforcement, Clean streets and parks, Great Infrastructure.

Government need money to provide us a better place to live that's why they force us to pay taxes.

Agreed
The private market would provide exactly the same services for cheaper and more variety due to competition and consumer choice for the best fit for his need.

Primitive view of anarchism. Because it is simply not true.

A living counter example is why darknet markets are thriving and expanding when there is no central authority "protecting" anyone ?

To that, they failed. Or it would have never crossed my mind to give one read any anarcho capitalism book in my life.
They force me to pay taxes for services I don't want, without giving a damn about my safety. (In france anyway, good if you are not in a country of this kind)

Even if I am convinced that free market would do a better job than bureaucrats only caring about their job safety, I would not really care paying taxes if I liked the services I got for it.
