So if the slave were allowed to choose his own level of effort, he would no longer be a slave?
I think you have a point with what you're saying (and I'm predisposed against believing that the taxation/slavery analogy has meaning), but I don't think being a slave is incompatible with some autonomy.
I think we'd better kill this discussion before it turns into an "is it a blegg or rube" debate. - the original anarchist's argument falls into at least one of the fallacies on that page, and I suspect my nitpick might do so as well.
