My assertion is that compulsory schemes can succeed. You can give as many unsuccessful examples as you please, but all that does is raise the question why some compulsory schemes succeed while others fail. A cynic might assert that successful schemes are adequately funded and supported by the community so that trying to weasel out is unacceptable, while unsuccessful ones are characterized by undermining or deferment of obligations, often to satisfy an electorate. In which case that's a story about populations and the politicians they prefer, not confiscation or any of the other rhetoric.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
