Examples of mandatory associations include, but are not limited to
affirmative action and obamacare.

There are those being driven out of business because they will not associate with "gay marriage".

Mandatory associations also include ideas. Political correctness is replete with such mandatory associations.

Anti-discrimination laws are in effect mandatory association laws.

Another good example of mandatory association came up on another thread. Pizza businesses that cannot exclude high crime areas for delivery.

Freedom isn't the only important value. Justice, fairness, and equality are also important.
