Of all the hypotheticals, taxation has to be the most incongruent with anarchism.

That is my point. I strongly believe taxation is absolutely necessary for a good society. This part should have been addressed in the article but he skips over it completely.

If you believe that every human should receive education and healthcare and be protected from criminals then you aren't an anarchist.

Wouldn't this be where anarcho communism comes into play? If there's no currency there's not really a need for taxation.
