The TRUE answer to that question is this:

Forcible government -- that is, coercive government, which is the ONLY kind of government we've tried -- IS ITSELF A FORM OF TYRANNY because coercion (for funding and gradually for more and more and more things) is entirely what makes "government" different from "civil society", including from commerce.

Tyranny grows.

It ALWAYS grows, unless the people are fighting it and are able to push it back.

"Just a little Tyranny" is exactly like "just a little bit pregnant" -- it is the first act of something much bigger.

CAN freedom actually include . . . NO INITIATED COERCION?

YES it can, and if we want to KEEP the nation free, it's exactly what we must create: a true civil society.

Abolish the initiation of coercion.

EDIT:

For more detail and a look at how an actually FREE society would work (with incentives, insurance, natural market regulation like UL and NFPA (both founded in the late 1800s) and so on, consider The Market for Liberty -- free download at Mises.org or purchase at Amazon or elsewhere.
