The force here is taking the money (at risk of imprisonment) from person A to pay Person B to provide Service C to Person Q.

It is definitely a form of "violence" by the society against the individual. It just isn't analogous to slavery.

Oh, is THAT what the author was saying? Wow, such a bad analogy that it's hardly even decipherable.

Yeah, Alex said it best, money is not equivalent to labor or people.

Really?

So if I decided to just trade my labor for another mans and cut "money" out of the equation the government won't mind?

The IRS won't assign a monetary value to the labor we traded?
