This is the critical fallacy that has struck a long line of distinguished politics posters, including moorobot, propertarian, and most recently jogger.

Also, thanks for not including me in this list of "silly statist pinkos".

You're not even close to making that list. Those people have all explicitly made that argument - that someone *being coerced* is a "worrying condition" (for lack of a better term) which someone must be responsible for eliminating, as opposed to someone *coercing others* being the condition which must be remedied (the difference being the identification of the responsible party).
