Here are ten absolute truths about coercion.

• 01. Coercion is physically forcing an individual to act against independent judgment.
• 02. Coercive acts are futile attempts to bypass the axiom of free will.
• 03. Political rights can only be violated by the use of coercion.
• 04. Political freedom is freedom from coercion.
• 05. The right to self-defense requires the right to use physical force against coercion.
• 06. Coercion cannot change minds because a mind cannot be physically forced.
• 07. Ideological conversion by means of coercion is impossible.
• 08. Human values must be created, therefore humans who use coercion to steal them are weak.
• 09. Government taxation is a form of coercion.
• 10. The threat of physical force is an indirect form of coercion.

Thanks for considering these ten facts about coercion. I hope they did their part in proving to you coercion should be eliminated from society.
