    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Voluntariness requires the absence of coercion; non-voluntary subjection is inherently coercive by definition.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A defining feature cannot be peripheral; peripheral features are non-defining, making the claim logically sound.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Even attenuated voluntariness requires some meaningful choice; total subjection eliminates all choice-relevant space.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Members might voluntarily accept non-voluntary subjection to external authority if they value its benefits sufficiently.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.An association's defining feature (structure) differs from members' voluntary stance toward joining or remaining in it.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Some accept severe constraints voluntarily; subjection's non-voluntary nature doesn't preclude voluntary membership acceptance.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
