} It does, as you mentioned, violate property rights. But it is not
} coercive. It's not a matter of "do what I say or I'll destroy your
} coke." Nobody is making threats. Nobody is being asked to do
} anything. I would simply unleash the equivalent of a natural disaster,
Webster's definition supports your view. By the same logic,
assassination is not coercive. No threats are involved; someone simply
dies suddenly.
And when the property rights violated were necessary for survival, or
even decent survival...
