Huh?  Wha???????   LBJ? Not the legislators, the courts, and especially the citizens, parents, neighbors, townfolk who judged each other's behavior?  You think LBJ himself was a Ruler of some sort?
Ha, ha, ha.  Haven't had a laugh like that since, well, Nixon took office.

Uh........... you tell us that a 'socialist' is the same as a pope or monarch?  That they share philosophy?  I think you don't understand the word, or the concept, of 'socialist'.  (Which makes most of your essay invalid.)  Stop getting your vocabulary from Fox News and the Right-wingers, learn the reality of opposing views, then lecture us.

I'm amused by those of you who have been 'under the thumb' ----— please, can you identify when a lack of government, a lack of order, a lack of structure has EVER worked?  Yes, you can tout a Utopia, but when has unfettered personal freedom EVER succeeded?

You are missing the difference between "all mankind, every single person is corrupt" and "every barrel has some bad apples".  You like to think laws are the result of a depressed philosophy in which everyone is viewed as innately evil by the law makers (including themselves) and must be controlled.  Well, life isn't black or white, left or right.  You cannot view every living human as incorrupt, unselfish, and good, either.

Structure, whether as government or religion or any variation, is needed because of the mix of good and bad people and good and bad behavior.

I think the choice of "Authoritarian" is a bit of negative word play.  I would prefer if he had compared "Citizen" to "Libertarian".
But let us look at his exaggerated idea that Authoritarians want to compel everyone to good behavior.  Does this come from a philosophical idea, or from the real world?  If we simply ASK everyone in our society to "do the right thing", do they?  Has an entire society EVERY done so?

Do you have the "right" because you are a Libertarian to blow off fireworks, ride loud dirtbikes?  Do the Authoritarians crush you if they pass laws against these?  Well, where are the rights of your neighbors to have peace and quiet?  Ride a dirtbike whose sound does not cross my property line, and we can talk.  Blow fireworks whose noise and light do not come into my yard, my house, and we'll discuss "Libertarianism".
"Citizen" reflects a person who understands that people living around each other MUST agree upon laws, and, the more that individuals impose upon others, the more laws seem to be needed.
When the very last person ever will have died from a gunshot, then we can talk about having no restrictions, no laws, and about freedom to possess a gun.  When the last person, ever, violates public decency, imposes themselves on their fellows, takes advantage of other people, THEN we can review your absolute Freedoms.

Hmnnnn.... the only thing inappropriate about this quote from 1910 is at the end:  that the tax man will (or must??) be a blackmailer and profiteer, ignoring his duty and corrupting the law.  But, where does he get that?  Yes, anyone can be a cheat, but when jobs have bosses and instituted procedures, and when employees are hired for their honesty, that does not have to happen.  AND, I believe, our history of 110+ years of federal income tax will show that the massive abundance of tax workers are honest.
Beyond that, there is nothing in that "threat" of his that is threatening.  It is simply a wordy (although exaggerated) description of how a tax-paying plan would be implemented.
Nothing to see, here!
