Taxes or forced labor, same thing, your choise is to pay, to go to jail, or join the unproductive.

That is one way off looking at it. What I meant (I should have been more specific), is forced labor in a more direct way. A group moves to a compound and works on a farm or in construction. Forcing people to work directly for the government. After a given time, we are allowed to go back to our normal, tax paying lives with one difference: we can vote.

You said (joking?) that you wanted the despot system imposed now. What I was trying to say it that your solution, while valid, is probably not the best one. It is not necessarily true that the colapse, if there is a colapse, will kill millions. If we can come up with a solution that can save millions, that would be ideal. That was my point.
