It is a mater of terms. In a free market there is no violence. What you describe above is a government controlled market.
Just try to achieve your goals without violence.
I up voted not because I agree, but because of the discussion.

Hey, thanks for the reply. It seems that you missed the thrust of my point, namely that there is no difference between a 'government controlled market' and a free market. This is for one of two reasons, take your pick.
If its not possible for me to grow wings and fly, then doesn't it make sense to not try to do so? Even if by meditating for example, it were not possible, then wouldn't it behoove me to stop meditating on that concept and find something else to do with my time? If you can never achieve a free market, or alternatively can only achieve one for a tiny amount of time--the rest of which is spent in government controlled markets, then what is the point in bothering? What is the point in holding it as a grand standard? I submit that it is pointless. Especially since we have evidence that people lived much better lives before capitalism than they do now.
