Theft
Taking what belongs to another without consent, whether by physical force, taxes, or seizures by claimed authority. No moral excuse like need, votes, or tradition makes it legitimate -- logic calls it harm.
Frequently asked
Are taxes theft?
If taxes are collected by force from people who did not consent, the framework calls that taking without consent — which meets its definition of theft. Whether a particular tax funds something beneficial is a separate question. A thief who donates the proceeds to charity is still a thief. The definition does not depend on what the money is used for, but on whether the taking was voluntary.
