Tyler H Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 A genuinely free society could have a little state and a little taxation?
M.2 Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 "...little to no state, little to no taxation" was the exact quote. Caught my attention too.
Dylan Lawrence Moore Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 I think we're at the point that we'll take a little state over invasion by infidels and being forced to pay religious tax.

I’m not sure I understand what preference has to do with the truth value of equating “a genuinely free society” with a “little...state” and a “little...taxation”. A genuinely free society is one with no socially accepted institutions of coercion; state, religious, or otherwise. To include the words “little to” was not only unnecessary but philosophically inaccurate. I’m curious why they were included.
