Well then, if you want to stay in your country you're consenting to what is happening. You vote, I assume, which means you consent regardless of whether you vote for the winners or not.
Social contract theory is false.
Silence does not mean consent.
If a woman refuses to lock herself up in her house, that does not mean she is consenting to being raped when she walks the streets.
Pensions are truly voluntary, so too are taxes, you just don't see it like that.
False.
Taxation is not voluntary. Failure to pay taxation will incur property seizure and legal punishment.
If you use the government's currency then you're consenting, if you make a legal contract with this currency, you're consenting.
False.
The government does not create currency. It appropriates the creation of currency.
The only effective roles of government are appropriation and control.
Leadership and rulership, a difference? Sure, one leads by their inherent power, the other is there because they're there. However people in the US get elected.
It is still slavery, when your only voice is electing your next ruler.
I don't think social contract theory is false in the case I am stating.
You have choices and one of those is to get out of the country you live in. You could also refuse to pay taxes, refuse to accept what is there. The problem is most people do accept it and you seem to accept most of the laws too.
Taxation is voluntary because you could choose to live a life without taxes. You, however, choose the life where you do pay taxes. That's your choice.
I buy food. I'd rather food be given to me free, however it's not free, so I have to buy it. I don't like it, but I accept it because it's either that or grow it myself.
Sometimes you have to choose something you don't like in order to get the thing you do like. I would prefer not to work, however I get money from working, therefore I accept working.
Government DOES create currency. Who do you think makes those coins and bills in your pocket?
It's not slavery. Slavery is something different.
