Because gee, how could I and some random person in the middle of China possibly leave each other alone if we didn't each have a gang of narcissistic sociopaths claiming to 'represent' us? Oh, wait a minute. But for some inexplicable reason, we're taught to believe that one huge, arbitrarily chosen assortment of individuals (the 'citizens' of one human livestock farm-I mean, 'country') need some control freaks acting as intermediaries in order to interact with a different arbitrarily chosen assortment of individuals (the 'citizens' of some other human livestock farm-I mean, 'country'). And that's all society is: the collective name for lots of INDIVIDUALS.

In your day-to-day life, you interact with all sorts of other individuals. “Think what it implies when you say that a country needs leaders. Thus is the power of the mind control that comes from repeated exposure to BS political mythology and propaganda.” 'Wait, so every time I produce anything or trade with anyone, I have to give a cut to the local crime lord?' 'Wait, so I have to keep paying every year, for the privilege of keeping the property I already finished paying for?' And not only do most people not make such obvious observations, but if they hear someone else pointing out such things, the well-trained Stockholm Syndrome slaves usually make arguments condoning their own victimization. Meanwhile, even a brief objective examination of the concepts should make anyone see the lunacy of it. The fact that most people still imagine both to be legitimate and acceptable shows just how powerful authoritarian indoctrination is. For the latter, if you own property in their territory, they extort you. For the former, if you earn a living on the gang's turf, they extort you. Where 'income taxes' are simply slavery using different words, 'property taxes' are just a Mafia turf racket using different words. “Property taxes' rank right up there with 'income taxes' in terms of immorality and destructiveness.
