A legitimate one, perhaps? When assessing the viability of a system, certainly its level of coercion can be considered. But you did bring up a point of reference that underlies all state power, which is coerced consent. That's why, if we wish to avoid generalized punsihment, we should avoid engaging in behavior conducive to state power.
