So, what I am asking is, could government function by
collecting taxes through donation, rather than coersion?
If one of the functions of government is to
insure peace (which is about a big a lie as one can find), then yes, it could use peaceful means of being funded.
And, more broadly, anything can work if it's do-able and an effort is made.

I've discussed this idea before in my voluntary line-item taxation thread, BTW.

something).
