If I buy land though the sequence in respect to your society, and then secede from society after making my land self-sustainable, would that be acceptable to you? Note that I am using you as ambassador for your entire modern society. Thanks.
PS. I would not use any of your modernities such as water (I would build a well for that) or electricity (I will probs buy solar panels before secession)
> too bad the military will come and rape and murder you for trying such things
This. Protection rackets don't just let you escape.

You are going to need to repair solar panels.
Either no electricity or no society. You choose.
You could just avoid society as much as possible, but you will be forced to pay taxes.

The state levies taxes, not society.

Wait, but isn't there a minimum threshold of earnings for taxes? One could surely free himself from taxes by earning less than that. So, only enough to survive.

The state is there to maintain the structure of society.

Regardless of your justification of the state, it is separate to society.

You have to pay taxes even if you secede from society mainly because it's a bit over the top to pass a law for the ten people that actually live like that.

I'll say one thing... bananas.
No actually, I wanted to say doctors... you could easily die from something as simple as an appendix inflammation if you didn't get it surgical removed and it got complicated and ruptured.

No, the enforcers of society are part of society - militias, defense agencies, enforcement agencies. The State enforces the will of the State.
