In a more serious vein, note that I did not ask if the slave owner imposed anything on the slave. It is obvious that you will think so. I asked if the slave owner imposed anything on me if he used violence to stop me from freeing his slave. The analogy works perfectly. He thought owning slaves was his natural right. You think owning land is your natural right. Does that mean he could use violence? Does that mean you can use violence?

It's all a question of who initiates aggression, not who uses it. In the example of the slave owner, he has initiated on the slave. Since the initiation has already happened, you coming in to help the slave isn't initiation. When I go out into the wilderness and homestead a piece of land and work to make it productive for society, I haven't intiated aggression on anyone. It isn't until someone comes and messes with my land that the initiation has happened and it's not the land owner who's the initiator.
