    I tend to take a more individualist view of things. I agree that we have some level of duty to each other, but I don’t believe that duty should be enforceable with anything stronger than social pressure. As such, I feel that taxation for collective benefit is fundamentally unjust.

    However, unlike right-libertarians, I’m not okay with class stratification. We need to be actively dismantling the power structures that maintain the disparities in our society. I believe that in doing so, we’ll find that taxation isn’t actually necessary, and that we can have a society which is both voluntary and reasonably equal.

    lol.

    We need to actively dismantle class stratification. But not with taxes, that would be unjust. We're gonna social pressure our way to an equitable society!

    Class stratification doesn't happen on the level of individuals. If your only means of acting - of thinking - about this like a single cell, unwilling to acknowledge the tissues and organs it forms, then you've failed before you've even began.
