Given that by the very nature of the people that squatters tend to be: how do you propose they are made to pay their council tax? How do you propose that the council collect monies from them when the default notices are ignored and they move into their next squat?

What part of that has got to do with anything. If I have 2 cars outside, paid for, taxed and insured but I chose to use only one; that means I should be happy for some parasitic human to come along and declare that it is now theirs to do what they want with, including damaging it...., and tough luck to me. Aye, very good.... !

What wonderful contribution do these squatters 'sometimes' (sorry, sometimes, sometimes just aint good enough), give back to the communities that they squat in?

The millionaires of these houses/properties etc: pay staggering amounts in taxes that are churned back into the economy: even on the basis of the interest alone from their savings, never mind everything else.
