I understand exactly what you meant to portray, and this is a perfect example of ideology not surviving realty (imo).
Using your scenario above...
Instead of pulling the trigger and asking for his money, he asks for his obedience instead. (threat of killing him/his family etc).
Now we have one psychos and one follower...now multiply it and we have authority through coercion...
My idealism of younger years has changed to a more pragmatic look at the world...
...The 4% of socio/pschcho's can never be excluded from the equation.
For voluntarism to work ( as understand the ideology), it needs to be without the manipulators of men in the world ...and this will never happen - no matter how much an ideology wants it to be the case.
(Like communism working - if only it wasn't for those pesky human drives of ambition, and freedom, kind of thing...)
They much prefer that people willingly comply and act like slaves, rather than having to crack the whip.
Absolutely - it requires less effort from them. (lazy bastards!)..But that is the extended result of the coercion, not the start of the coercion..
Don't accuse me of thoughtful comments, I'll get triggered!

Yes, you're right. There will always be some psychopaths to deal with. However, they're vastly outnumbered. For voluntarism to work, people just have to ignore the psychopaths immoral wishes. This would render them relatively harmless.
Trigger more thoughtful comments, please! :)
