Forcing is absolutely good. We force companies to do all kinds of things, in terms of corporate governance (publicly traded companies must have their finances audited, for example), ownership (banks used to be prevented from buying stock so that they would not avoid calling in bad debt), and how they do business (collusion between big tech to keep salaries down for example).
Forcing isn’t good.

By that hyper-simplistic “logic” people shouldn’t be forced into prison if they murder someone.
Clearly some kinds forcing are necessary, by which point it’s all about “when is forcing right and when is it not?” something that childlike “logic” of yours doesn’t even begin to address.

Forcing to defend the lives of others, is very different from forcibly taking what belongs to others

The meme is right, the claim of belonging is complete bullshit. Your toothbrush and your home belong to you, a business involving multiple people belongs to everyone involved. The idea that it doesn’t is narcissism and evil.

You’re free to believe what you want, I’m personally a Lockean property rights enjoyer.

It rightfully belongs to the workers. The firm is basically a vehicle for appropriating the positive and negative product of production. The just basis of property is getting the positive and negative fruits of your labor (i.e. the labor theory of property). In a capitalist employer-employee relationship, the employer gets solely holds the whole product while workers are denied their claim to it despite it being a result of their labor.
