Taxation is one of the foundations of government, the quote may be just a bit of the path, but I think it's pretty close to the heart of the matter.Taxation is the price which we pay for civilization,
for our social, civil and political institutions,
for the security of life and property,
and without which, we must resort to the law of force.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
You may think that tribalism can only happen in areas that lack a central government and lack education, infrastructure and wealth. But education, infrastructure and wealth result directly from (good) government. Universities, the main keepers and creators of knowledge, even private ones, would instantly fail instantly if their government support dried up. Only governments can aggregate the capital necessary to create infrastructure. The richest men in the world aren't worth a hundredth what the US government spends in single year. Anarchists, communists and libertarians all have lack of government as their central tenet of religion, but each has a different view of what their post-government would look like. Not all can be correct.
