OK, well, if we start dissecting our human acts the same way, we'd literally end society. Most people are coerced into their jobs, due to society taking away their means of alternate survival, and job availability.

Societies should exist for the benefit of the people living in them. If aspects of it do not serve the people living in them well then they should be abolished.
That doesn't really mean anything. Society benefits some, is to the detriment of others, and for most it's a mixed bag.
I said should and, if you haven't noticed, the things people have often fought hardest for are changes to society that increase benefits to the people living in them that don't currently enjoy such benefits.
The fact people have fought about things doesn't tell us much either. Did they get what they fought about. Or not. Typically not. Also is fighting to get more "society"? It happens even without society. So it's not an example of society.
