I'm sure the Jews would have been glad to hear that as they were marched into the gas chambers and acid showers.

Rest is free market - a voluntary model.. This will ensure economy for everyone, no matter what they choose - but piracy can never be part of that equilibrium.

Control of the flow of money.. lol Yeah they'll love that. That's what they are best at. What qualifies you as deserving of said money? You can't figure out how to make money so you just expect to get paid is that it? Isn't that socialism? There's nothing free-market in anything you are talking about. You'll feel better about the government taking a portion of your earnings to stop someone else taking a portion of your earnings? I get it.
