This seems obviously not true. I hope I missed something in your post, and you could quickly clarify it for me if I misread. An obvious example is drugs. If I want to buy some drugs the government will use force to stop me. I didn't sign a contract that I wouldn't the drug laws were forced upon me. I understand that I could have made an effort to change the laws by donating money and campaigning for a candidate that would change their laws, but if I don't why does that allow others to use force or the threat of force to stop me?

It seems that you believe that the majority is always right, and is able to use force on the minority whenever they see fit. This is not comparable with the "force" that you believe a free market imposes on people. If I buy a car for $30,000 it doesn't mean someone else couldn't sell you the same car for $100 if the seller so desired. In the free market my actions don't effect you whereas in an election they do.

I feel silly writing all this as it is super obvious, and I must have just misread your post.
