it's still clearly an instance of begging the question.

I'm not sure it is; that government involves coercion is a substantive premise.

But my goal was to cast a shadow on the off-topic point, not to derail the thread.

Unfortunately, people who agree with the off-topic point can hardly accept such behaviour without response.
