> And, yeah, at that point you have a bit of coercion
Which is it? Can you compel a poor peasant farmer to stay on the farmer and grow food because that's what society needs as a right?
> If a home doesn't, they're probably going to be in violation of some kind of law.
Law itself is coercion. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. The only reason we pay taxes for stuff we might not use, like the public education system and libraries, is forced by the threat of violence and imprisonment. Would you be going to jail if you didn't pay the portion of them that went to the military? What do you think happens when you refuse to go to prison?
