Overthrowing an oppressive labor system (at a time where there were poll taxes and property ownership requirements for voting) is not a free market system, either. Your sentence doesn't make sense to me. Could you rephrase it. Your saying that the overthrowing is not a free market... . If I back you up to a cliff and give you a "choice" of being my slave or "walking away" (over the cliff), is it REALLY a choice? Then you are effectively using force against me. Sometimes the companies did as well. To the extent that they did then I agree that it was not a free market system. That doesn't say anything good about communism though it just reflects poorly on these companies. Tim
