Taxes are no different from rent and fees, it's just a matter of the scale of the landlord's holdings.

"I was born on this land"
So if you're born in an apartment does that make it yours?

Well you are right in the sense of "taxes" being rent, but only in the case of the monarch in question being solely a landlord. In other cases, such as monarch/state provided schools, protection, roads, healthcare, etc. unless I am explicitly paying for these services out of choice, in preference to them over alternatives, and are not paying them because I "must" or because it is my duty as a "citizen" or "renter" I am afraid that you are mislead. These ARE taxes, because while it is my choice to live in the monarch-in-question's country, it is NOT m choice to accept the monarch's services. Anarcho-capitalism is also about choice, not just ownership.
