Have you heard of this idea called "taxes?"
More than that, are you familiar with the idea of taxes being spent on more than just bloated military and police?
Its easier, for most, to imagine the end of the world than the end of Capitalism.
A fan of Zizek film analysis? That's definitely one of his positions, related to how much post-apocalyptic media still portrays capitalism in practice post-apocalypse.
Haven't heard of em, I'll have to check em out though!
Slavoj Zizek / Pervert's Guide to Ideology / Pervert's Guide to Cinema

Tell me what type of society you are imagining please, in the real world it is already difficult for the average entrepreneur not to evade VAT on at least 30% of his purchases, because if we don't talk about Nordic countries or Switzerland then I don't see it feasible how people can accept even more interventions from the government in their lives.
Can you tell me how to get to the fantasy land you are living in where this is possible?
Ok just wondering
