I think taxes occur in socialism no?

I have no opinions on taxes right now.

Well socialism isn't really a well defined system, such as communism, but states and parties that call themselves socialist tend to support limited redistribution of wealth through taxation, ime.

Btw one reason I ask is that psychonauts sometimes seem to hold some pretty wild ideas about how society should be organized. Yes I find politics interesting, don't mock me.

I don't mind paying taxes. What I find very, very annoying is calculating my taxes every year. It's so much effort to obtain a meaningless set of digits. So uninspiring, boring, tedious and depressing...

Is anarchism considered radical?

I don't know what to answer here...I think every community should organize and model their own economic system based on their own needs and resources. I don't want to pay for monarchy, military, war on drugs, banks, and all that bullshit...I don't mind paying for health care though, it is necessary in this overbuilt system...

I don't mind paying taxes.

Wow, I admire such an altruistic mind...

Im not really that kind of hombre, I even would say Im a pure individualist...

But I should reconize that for sure taxes are necessary evil...
