Which I mean, my wife believes that the government using the threat of violence to collect taxes is immoral, unethical, and that all transactions between all individuals should be voluntary and nonviolent. Which in terms of popular discourse, is very "extreme". She was thinking about running for local public office an a platform of "the government will not take away your propery for failure to pay taxes" which a surprising number of local people on Facebook supported. She's been going to Meetups and having people say "oh yeah I saw your meme, the government sucks, keep it up!" She bugs local politicans on Facebook, their ads keep popping up in her feed, so she'll ask them things like "do you think it's moral to seize someone's property when they can't pay their taxes?" which of course gets bullshit nonanswers from politicians. Nobody wants to say "I think it's moral to seize someone's house because they're behind on taxes".
An authoritarian government wouldn't like someone like my wife, and they certainly wouldn't want her getting likes on Facebook. After all, what if she DOES run for office? What if she wins? What if other people like her win?
Also: Do people who don't pay taxes, e.g. homeless, unemployed, destitute, not get the benefits of police protection?
It's the government that makes the rules, they decide to make people homeless for not paying property taxes, and to charge sales tax on food, even for the destitute. In my city this winter a homeless person was bothered by the cops, they stole his blanket, and then he froze to death where they left him outside. Ask anyone who's been homeless if they fear the police or not.
