The IRS is not stealing from you. The money does not belong to you, it belongs to society, which has authorized its agents to collect its property.
This is the reality of human society. We are herd animals, and the herd has spoken. Your extreme anti-social views have not and will not prevail, for the logical (and observed) results are intensely undesirable to those of us who wish to live in relative peace.
Who makes up this society? Just the people in your political borders? What about the people in other countries? Or would they count only after their military successfully invades your country? And when their military does this, everyone in that country is responsible, right? Cause it's their "agents", right? So if it is an illegitimate invasion, they are all guilty? Or would the guilty just consist of the immature and irresponsible anarchists who didn't support any of the warmongers up for election? How would we know if it is an illegitimate invasion? Society decides, I guess?
It's amazing how the blatant conflation of state and society that you make is allowed to pass in debates about anarchism with such frequency. And how often the people who make that conflation pat themselves on the back for being all "nuanced" and mature when in fact, through sloppy thinking, they managed to avoid dealing with all the problems that the anarchist has had to work through in order to arrive at his position.
So if tomorrow the herd decided it is acceptable to send you to uranium mines to work for free for the rest of your life because it is better for the society, you'd have no objections to it? And, mind you, it is exactly what the herd had been doing for thousands of years, staying willfully ignorant of the horrors of slavery, religious wars and inquisition.
You are confusing acceptance of the need for laws and their enforcement with belief that law is infallible. This intense inability to deal with nuance is both a cause of Randroid philosophy, and one of its most aggravating characteristics.

And this is, I believe, why it's so comparatively common with computeristas; it is a worldview which is much more logical and binary than the current one, with the implication that such a worldview is obviously better. No nuance is necessary but there are no nuances to perceive in this system.
This is, of course, why the system is not suitable for general implementation. It will be quickly and immediately co-opted by those who can perceive nuance where others see only black/white, who will eventually bring the whole edifice crashing back down again.
