I don’t expect to see a world in which there would be no theft, aggression, or coercion.

But, it would be refreshing to live in one in which no agency of coercion (the government) had the acceptance of most of the people around me.

Dealing with an agency of coercion would be much easier if you didn't have to cope also with “law-abiding” neighbors
who act as unpaid functionaries of the state.

The "art" of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give to the other.
