Property rights exist because we have morality

Rejecting aggression is certainly a part of it, but how do you propose to distribute goods?

There is more to living that just not being an abusive jerk.

By 'distribute goods' are you asking a simple question of logistics or do you actually mean 'live at the expense of others'?

We all live at the expense of others.

You have shoes because political prisoners in china make them.
You have TV's for the same reason.

But back to the point, do you intend to let wage slavery persist, or do you have an alternative?

You can't say that political prisoners are a result of the free market. Slavery and voluntary exchange are mutually exclusive so what do you mean by wage slavery?

The alternative to living at the expense of others is to have a free society, a free market. It is obvious that we have very different definitions of anarchy. What is your proposed alternative?

It seems you blame employers for the fact that humans have needs and that life is a struggle. Are you a utopian? Will no one have to work after you impose your "solutions" on everyone?
