If two groups, anarchists and minarchists are warring to either set up a gov or not, and I'll somehow tip the scales... I care about what will maximize average/median/whatever happiness. Either way, I'll be making a decision that effects the well-being of everyone else. Yes, one decision means preventing coercion, one means becoming an active part of it. I don't really care about that part, every decision you make has unconsented effects on others... and I don't believe in natural rights.
