Failure to allow citizens in the majority to coordinate their economic efforts via a government action for which they are willing to pay, is coercive (and wrong) as well.

This is nonsense.

No coercion is necessary for willing contributors to coordinate their economic activities, and nobody is interested in coercing them out of such activities. They can even set up a fund such that the activity is only triggered (and their contributions committed) when enough money has been contributed to pursue the project. If they insist on doing this extremely inefficiently, I suspect that the government would be willing to perform this voluntarily-supported project.

No, these people you speak of don't want the government to perform this because the government is so good at this work. They want the government to do it so that they can coerce unwilling people to contribute.

To accuse those who merely want to avoid this coercion of the crime they are threatened with is a gross moral inversion.
