In 2015, I found myself in one of my email debates with Dr. Noam Chomsky, asserting that he was not in fact an anarchist or libertarian socialist, as he asserts. I proposed that his endorsement of national health care via the state constituted "state forced collectivism." Dr. Chomsky, the world renown linguist that he is, returned the phrase back at me, seeming to suggest that he'd never interacted with the term before. Sensing that I'd pinned his proverbial ears to the wall with it, I knew I needed to gain assurance of my footing. I asked my associates to verify, and we found 1 1/2 pages of google references to the term, mine included.
In about 2000 to 2001, I remember hearing my Congressman Dick Armey, whom I'd been interacting with at the time on pushing for new hours of service regulations in the trucking industry make a talk on "collectivism." I later would combine this "collectivism" with "state force," as I knew there were ancom or libertarian socialist positions that are not practical in my opinion, but nevertheless do not include the violence of the state in their definition.
I do believe that I coined the term, state forced collectivism around 2003 for the English lexicon.
