Dreaming is free. Lol! I want a world where what a rich did or what a homeless received voluntarily from someone has the same value: it cannot be stolen on any basis. No matter the explanation, justification, good will they explain they have and what they will do with it. You earn something, you manage it. You want something, you deal.

Bolsheviks are not a great example of a success story to bring up in support of your argument...

I am not telling the Bolshevik are right or that they are a success story, what I am telling is that no matter the actual fairness of stuff, if you don’t help your society eventually they will take our things by force.
Taxes are the price we pay to live in a civilized society

No. Taxes are the proof that there are mafias and people that are not civilized enough and want to spoil the rest.
A civilized person would try to contribute to the society without promoting violence to steal other people efforts.
Or people who provide services go to the strike and stop producing. What would happen?
