I'm wary of anyone who uses terms like "state-coerced" - it suggests that the author has bought into an ideology that is decidedly not reality-based. Too often, phrases like that run in packs with ideas like "taxation is theft" (it isn't, of course).

it is theft

Blinding flash of insight for you little brother: there is no "theft" without the state.

I assure you, theft predates states. Hell, it predates our species.

It's not theft without a state to make it wrong. It's natural right.
