As I said, I am dependent on others. But the others != citizens of a nation. Its a very small subset. And for the service I am happy to pay as humans have been paying since invention of society.

We disagree on size of state. The flexibility/unhappiness of the social contract increases with size of state. The consent/absense-of-it is easier to indicate as size decreases.

I wasn't making an argument about the size of the state.

Usually people support taxes/megastates/state-as-a-solution-for-everything in bundle. My bad if thats not the case here.
